whats the best...?

[HeXaDeCiMaL]

I was wondering....whats the best programming language for making games? and whats the best for making applications?


~HeX~

this is strictly my opinion only. i would say c++ using OpenGL
for games and c++ using com for applications. I have a link for
you if you eventually want to program games.

The only other option i personally would take for games if i could
not use openGL and C/C++ would be assembly language. for some the
reverse is true. your milage may vary.

For games I would strongly recommend C++, VC++ or borland C++ Builder, For Applications either VC++ or Vb Enterprise editions. Coding software in pure assembly language can be quite tedious and if your not used to it quite error prone, whilst at college i used assebly languaf#ge to write the OS for micro controllers it was fun but quite anoying when degugging.
