I have a background in python and I’m looking for a new language. I am almost only intrested in making games.
I have come to 2 languages. C# and Action Script.
C# because Microsoft allows you to make Indie XBLA games programmed in C# ONLY.
Action Script so I can make flash games for new grounds and ect.
What do you think is better to learn in the long run?
To give a comparison of the two:
Action Script is useable only in Flash games (mostly run through web browser), which may be fun for some time, but it limits what you can do. On the other hand, it is probably the best way for developing web-based games.
C# and .NET allows you to write all sorts of different games (and is also more generally useful language in case you wanted to switch from game development to some other field, including web site development and various business applications). Regarding games, you can use it on:
By learning C#, you’ll also learn .NET Framework (in general), which is (I think) a useful knowledge that you can benefit from in many situations (e.g. when looking for a job :-))
