"Programing games - how it is done"

Based on the first and second page of the chat room named "I am also displeased by Nintendo.." where they were going on about programming languages (mainly basic) and programming games.
So I made this forum up . :^)

I reckon that everybody should be programmig games in java since it is the best by far.

Keep learning then :O[]

They're the same language, except C++ is revamped to support objects. Objects introduce a slight processor overhead, but they make supporting, reusing and maintaining code a few orders of magnitude easier.

Not that I've noticed much considerable difference, but I prefer C++.

So do most game developers due to its OOP approach. I just like C++ cos of the cout statement, and the fact it lets you define variables anywhere!

But what about graphics API's ay?

Open GL all the way! None of that Direct X nonsence for me!

:D

Yeah, guess I do that automatically whenever I see any code - it's the way I've been brought up!

Yes, but i didn't think we were getting that technical.

Don't you need to insert a public class statement first?

It displays the text "hello world" at screen co-ordinates 20, 30.
