Greetings everyone.
I am looking for a computer programming langauge (an alternative to BYOND) that is not too hard, and not too easy. C/C++ is too much for my brain to comprehend right now, and BASIC is too simple and lacks feature. I would like it if anyone offers any suggestions about programming langauges. Thanks.

Yeah, mostly. C++ is way too much for my brain's capacity :-P But anyways, BYOND is getting to be too easy for me, and frankly it is starting to bore me. I'm looking to make Windows applications, also.

Hmm.Well BYOND may get be boring for ya but go out with a bang.Make the ultimate game..Oh yeah dedicate it to me:P

My recommendation would be to get into PHP and PHP/gtk. You get the best of both worlds: PHP for internet/intranet applications, and PHP/gtk for Windows (offline) applications. There is a slowly growing need for PHP/gtk programmers, so getting in on the ground floor may be a good thing...
Other good choices would be Tcl/Tk (sometimes pronounced 'tickle'), Java, and SmallTalk - the later two being decent Object-Oriented-Programming languages. Master those and you can come back to BYOND to make better games, since OOP is one of the hidden strengths in DM. | |
I'm starting to get into Python now (http://www.python.org). There is also the extension called pygame (http://www.pygame.org/).
Right now, I'm killing myself trying to make a mud server while knowing very little of sockets and very little of the language I'm using. My mind is mush. (...There's a pun in there somewhere, but I'm too tired to get it.) | |
