What language should I write my 2D game in? [closed]
- by jmgrosen
I'm thinking of writing a game. It's inspired by Minecraft/Terraria (but don't worry it will be different).
My main question is what language I should write it in -- it'll be relatively simple graphics, more like Terraria than Minecraft. I know Java relatively well and Minecraft is written in it, but C++ seems like the industry standard for game development. However, I know next to no C++. I'm willing to learn but am worried how it will turn out for my first real project in the language.
In addition to that, I'd also like suggestions on a good game engine for the language that you suggest. I'd like it to run on:
Windows for sure
Linux for sure
Mac for sure
Android would be really nice
iOS is optional
Thank you in advance!
