I have been taking a break from learning the complexity of C++ and mainstream program languages, to learn the easy-learning game program language 'blitzs basic'.
I was running out of ideas so i went on Youtube to see what i could find. I found a wonderful series on blitzs2D and 3D. I found that this EASY language is easy learning, (In about a day i could write complex programs and games) when, i can not in c++.
Just asking is there anybody who uses this programming language?
It was my first language. It was fun.. Though I hardly remember any of it. I left it quite a while ago, since all the cool kids are into C++ :-).
Yes. C++ is a hard language to learn. It takes a lot of effort to get things done in it, so I wouldn't advise it to someone who is just starting to program.
Blitz is especially good because it has it's built in graphics libraries so you can immediately get some results.
Yeah, you're right it is a fun language. I started to program about 6 months ago. started with javascript. I then learnt C++ (by a book and decoding other peoples source code) A couple of days ago i was searching for random programming languages, such as 'Free Basic,' 'Blitzs' and other old languages but, simple syntax. To basically get a fast effect. Like several games i've made already. I will off-course continue with C++. But i know find that i don't have to rush to create anything anymore. So in all programming in general is not so much of a task at the moment.
I wouldn't waste my time with those languages just because they're not standard for game writing. Idk of any game houses using them. I also don't think they're that flexible... which is probably the reason it takes a day to learn how to make some complex stuff. Check out sfml is your into easy stuff to learn.
I'm already writing a quasi 2d game engine which is quite some fun. I've only written one game in sfml that was semi-completed. Had a few bugs in it... no actual graphics etc.
