My second article, I am so happy to be a writer with read cash. I will be speaking on game programming languages. Whether it’s on a Computer, A Console, or on your Phone, Games have come to stay and make a name for themselves in the global market. Call Of Duty and Fortnight are the names of just a few popular games in the market right now. After having a go at a few of these games, one might wonder how they are created. That would introduce us into the world of Gaming Languages. And I’m about to give you a breakdown of the best gaming languages.

First on my list and by far the best and most popular is C++. It is a high-level language that will teach you the basics of object-oriented programming, thus it's a good idea to learn it. It's also the language used to build most big console and Windows games. If you want to tackle big games in the larger gaming companies, knowing C++ is essential. It's fast, and you get a lot of control over memory management. There's a lot of information around for you to teach yourself, as it's been programmers' language of choice for decades. ++. So, to sum it all up, learn C++ if you're serious about creating games from scratch.

Second in line is C#. The benefit of this lies in its XNA Framework. This is a set of tools and runtime environment by Microsoft, which makes it particularly suitable for games on the Xbox, or Windows platforms. But when comparing C# with C++, you'd realize that C++ gives you a lot of control over parameters, memory management, etc. which is beneficiary to the User Experience of your game. C#, on the other hand, is like running a car on automatic. That implies that you have to work within the framework, using the components that have been created for you. The disadvantage is that variety is somewhat eliminated as all the interfaces of the games look the same.

The third gaming language worth mentioning is Java. Game programmers also commonly use Java, because Java supports multi-threading and sockets. Multi-threading uses less memory and makes the most of available CPU. Sockets help in building multiplayer games. Java was used to make games like Angry Birds Chrome for mobile devices. There are plenty of directions to take if you learn Java. It is the best language for Android games. Some people code in C++, but then there’s the hassle of dealing with its compatibility on different devices. But as Java runs on virtual machines, such problems are avoided.

And then there’s Web Languages. If you see yourself making games for browsers, you'll need to know a couple of different codes to be able to offer a complete user experience. Some recommendable codes are HTML 5 and SQL.

In summary, there is no single language you will need for game programming. Knowledge of C++ and Java are valuable assets, though one can make do with C#. Every language has its unique shortcomings and advantages. You could choose a language you're familiar or comfortable with and stick with that. Also consider the platform you want to make the game for. And those are the best languages for Game development. I hope you would like this article, it's very helpful. Once again I need all your support and also more friends who like my articles.
