What programming language do people use to make app games?

 

Can they be done without java/c++ or would they still need to use those.

Java - Android

Objective C - ios

You can make games using HTML5/java script though

This is worth a look. Bought a license for it about a year ago when it was in it's early release. Not done too much with it but it's got the potential.

C++ is the most commonly used language for games I believe, or has been in the past (not mobile, but in general)

 

if you wanna use C++ for a mobile app just find a C++ framework like Corona or something along them lines

C++ is quite basic now, Xbox games are coded in C# which is a more advanced version of C++ allowing A.I engines to be used.

 

Most languages derive from C as there all object based programming.

Need to look into all this.

Where are you getting your information from?

 

 

C++ isn't basic. C# isn't a more advanced version of C++. C isn't an object oriented programming language.

AI engines can be used in any language depending on what they've been programmed in.

 

Even Xbox is mainly C++ but they've developed the XNA toolkit that uses C# for developing on various Microsoft platforms so you can use C# to develop stuff, but the big studios will still use C++.

If you're interested in what's actually possible on it take a look at the Arcade section on the website, it's got user created games.

 

This on stands out in particular.

Studied it in Uni, Created graphics on C, animation on C++ and two games on C#. Out of the 3 C# is the most enjoyable to program in. The amount of coding required in C++ to do someone can be achieved on C# with less coding.
