Should It Be Java Or Python For Game Development? by megasamuel(m): 12:20pm On May 17, 2015
Want to go into game development which would be the more useful, there should be no problem concerns. Which is currently beating the other in the tracks for game programming

JAVA because of it's versatility, flexibility and similarity to C# and other C-style languages. You could even dive into Apple's objective-C or Swift later on. Plus, you get to master objected-oriented programming. It's just got to be JAVA.

I think you should give Unity a shot, you will love it. You might want to take a basic C# course to make the process easier.

When it comes to gaming it really doesn't depend on the programming language If I would say, It usually lies mainly on the platform you decide to use in order to achieve the task at hand. One of the reasons you'll like to compare technology would be because of reasons such as:
- "How many Platforms/OS do they support...does it have support for Android, IOS and Win 8 ?",
- "Does the platform support both 2D and 3D ?",
- "How is the platform's support for multiple touch devices ?" ,
- "Does it have support for some specific hardware ?" etc.

Questioning the programming language that the engine supports usually comes somewhere along the line of questions. An example scenario will be like "I like the features gaming engine A as to offer, I think I'll stick with it. Dang!! It only supports Python and I only know JAVA. Well, I guess I'll have to learn Python" or "I guess I'll have to stick with what B has to offer because I want to restrict myself to a certain programming language for some other reasons". Get it ? If you are trying to create you own gaming engine though, the questions would be different.

I hope you are only learning to C to understand how programming works and not to develop 3D games.

Why should anyone be using Python for game development? I'm guessing you're talking about the programming aspect. . . .


Do you even know what python is? Chaii shocked shocked

Bros,
what kinda game do u want to write Arcade, Adventure, Racing or others?

Cuz for me, I wouldn't want to write a quick simple tic-tac-toe game with java n the likes(I code java,C,C++ n Objective C too. So its not that they aint good neither am I criticizing any of the likes). But my point is, I would prefer using VB.NET to code d game mentioned earlier.

But like what someone above me said... What is/are ur targetted platform(s) n end user? That's the first step I guess, to deciding whether or not to use a particular language.
