Not just old as hell... Infact, it's the mother of all languages, the Creator himself... All hail assembly!

Binary seems to be the mother of all languages, but yes, the oldest of the usable is Assembly.

Technically, you can program in binary. Assembly uses binary calls for its instructions. If you know them, you're programming in binary. MIPS rocks k:

What's the most used language for programming games these days? The Torque engine seems to like C++, but that's the only one I really know about.

yes,

C# is very easy to learn if you can do C++ or Java...

I went from VB6 to C# so anything is possible... :whistle:

One more on C# k:

My job is programming C#, so naturally that would be the language I choose. C# is a great language for programming Windows applications and serverside webcode. But if you want to make games, C++ is the one and only language.

The reason is, that languages as C#, VB, VB.NET and java all need a runtime engine to work. C# and VB.NET needs the .NET Framework, java needs the Java Runtime Engine. The old VB also needs a runtime engine, which I don't remember the name of.

When you compile C++ code, it is compiled directly to machine code, which makes it runs faster. When programming games (especially 3d games), speed is essential.

You have to be carefull when programming C++ though, because it's easy to make memory leaks, which is not a good thing. When you don't have a Runtime Engine behind your program, you don't have a garbage collector.
