So which languages/API's do you program in?

I'm mainly interested in those who are doing games, but I'm curious as to what other people are programming with or otherwise fluent in. Right now, I am working in C++ and Java for my graduate research work (for the curious: http://www.vibrotactile.org/tactaboard/index.shtml, slightly outdated though). For my academic and spare time endeavours, I am dabbling in OpenGL and DirectX (PC and Xbox). For some reason, I used to be pretty fluent in Visual Basic too.

So what do you program in?

 

Well, in college i had some C, C++ and Java. Last semester i had a Computer Graphics class, that was fully OpenGL in C. I never liked C that much, liked C++ more.

But from those three, i prefer Java (Antipasta, please don't hate me ). Anyway, i'm not a good programmer, i do it mostly because college. I pretend to study more stuff in network security.

 

I'm half decent at PHP and Perl w/ some MySQL on the side. I've studied C++ but really suck shit at it. I can do some basic stuff, but nothing I can't do better in Perl.

 

I worked with Visual Basic 6.0 last year, and this year I am going to work with Java. I hope I enjoy Java more than Visual Basic.

 

I've been working on C++. It was one video game ad that first inspired me back in 2001 to try out Visual C++. At school, we try around QBasic & HTML.

I'm trying C++ to try developing some NES stuff & maybe some Dreamcast stuff! ;-)

 

I've poked around with C++, although I've never made anything useful out of it. Maybe I'll get back into it one of these days.

 

theres an amazing 3d modeling program with features for game engines called blender, its free, runs great.....quite powerful...though im only just starting to grasp it....

 

I remember being very good at Qbasic back when I was in Junior High. Boy, those were different times...
I can program very decent Lingo (Director 8.x)... or at least I could last time I needed to. I might be a bit rusted now. Those libraries are SO useful because of that...
I really need to learn Flash, and I haven't got the slightest idea where to start, though. I guess I can make an interactive CD or crap like that, but I'm SO lost in Actionscript...

I am good at InDesign, Fireworks, Photoshop and Video-Editing software, though, since those were a staple in my college major

 

In rough order of the amount I use them - C++, UML (If you can really call that a language) for architecturing, Assembler in various forms, MySQL, Lua, PHP, JAVA, DarkBasic for rapid prototyping,Visual basic for tools (sometimes), Perl.
Have also used Delphi in the past.

 

Macromedia allows you to try a 30 day trial of flash mx pro...its good....but im lookin for somethin free.....

 

I'm not good at programming anything since I've never studied but I can use FLASH pretty well and understand it. The problem is that I want everything done here and now so I never really exploit my true potential at it. All my Retro Core stuff is Flash, The opening and ending plus all the bits in between.

I know the basics of VB and Pascal. But my how I despise VB, horrible, horrible stuff...

Oooh, what I am enjoying however is Z80 assembly (i.e. DB 80 D3 81 C3 00 18 - bonus points for the person who can work out what that does...its not dificult in the slightest)

 

my main languages are C/C++ and asm (6502, 65816, 80x86)
but I know atleast 15+ languages more..
main APIs I use is.. I guess win32 and directx and homemade crap ^^

 

lol, good ol' chronic ol' Pascal. Take it some college/uni forced you to learn that too? ^_^ I was in the last year in my course to do it in 1st year. We moved on to C in second year though, thank God. I go on to Java next year - it sounds annyoing.

I also did some Assembler, but for crappy microcontrollers like the 8085 and 8051 - then again it's still pretty complicated in comparison to higher level languages like C. "Wow, a flashing light..."

I'd like to learn Z80 assembler, but my severe lazyness isn't helping things...

 

heh, programming the Z80 by rodnay zaks is a good start. Now if i could just find where I've hidden it....

And yes, pascal was forced on me by my college - AS Level computing. Still, I prefer it to VB

 

Java isn't bad if you have had some exposure to object oriented programming. If you haven't though, you could be in for a steep learning curve.

 

IN A, $80
OUT $81, A
JP $1800

(I don't do Z80 so you made me look up the instructions and disassemble it manually!)

 

I'd like to think I have a good command of Oracle PL/SQL. I'm okay with Java though I forgot a lot of it. Right now I'm tackling JSP. So as you can see I haven't really done any "fun" programming (which is probably why I don't like it very much lol).

 

C++ for NES?! Please elaborate so that I may not e-strike (tm) you! ;P

 

I haven't done any object-oriented stuff at all, ever :smt022
