I have a question. I'm a young programmer and I need an advice about what would be the programming language that you use and what is the complete job of a game programmer??

Please answer :mantongue:

Hi sandblood,

What you should know is that EA is a very large company made up of many different studios and each studio has their own preference for the programming language that they use.

Which programming language do you have a preference for? Why is this your favourite? You could start off learning one of the easier programming languages and then advancing to more difficult ones and then comparing them to see what's better in one language compared to another.

If you're interested in game making then you should try contacting independent and small scale developers and show them what you can offer them. This is a great way to break into the industry and gain some really valuable experience. You will need to be really persistent as there is a lot of competition out there.

Best of luck!

There are many programming languages that can be used to create games, and the choice of language depends on the type of game you want to develop, as well as personal preferences.

Some of the most popular programming languages used for game development include:

1. C++: used in game engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity, and it's known for its performance and ability to work with low-level hardware features.
2. C#: a popular language for game development with Unity, which is a popular game engine used for creating games for multiple platforms, including PC, mobile, and consoles.
3. Java: used for creating games for mobile devices, Android in particular.
4. Python: used for creating games and prototypes, and is known for its ease of use and simplicity.
5. Javascript: used for creating web-based games and game development frameworks.

Thanks for taking the time to respond @bo28c8gg6xla but as this thread is a decade old I will lock it.
