First python, then C#

Name: Anonymous 2011-07-08 22:44

My current plan is to finish learning python, and then learn C# for game development. Is this a good plan or should I bite the bullet and learn C++ instead? My plan isn't to do 3d games, more like Super Metroid, but can I randomize maps and such well with C#? I guess my question is, is C# a powerful enough language?

The definition of 'powerful' that C++ users like actually means 'efficient', in terms of the machine. That could mean the ability to bypass type-safety, or the granularity of your control over memory consumption. And that doesn't impact much whether you will be able to do, in principle, what you want to accomplish, so C# can serve you as well as any other language, save for the economy expression that may be greater in one or others (likely not C++).

So in the end, yes, as >>2 said, it's Turing-complete, go crazy.
