Looking for a new hobbie, the most easy programming language for writing games?
-
I used to be a developer in VB [insert sarcastic note here!], and after a couple of years without coding, i feel my mind is getting slower. So i was thinking about a new hobby and start writing games, only to remember how good it felt to solve something and give some healthy work for my brain. I'm not thinking about fancy graphics and anything like that, just in learning the logic to implement some situations (turn by turn battles, etc.) Recommendations are welcome... :-D

Even slower than when you were a VB programmer? :omg: :wtf: :omg: :wtf: :wtf: :omg: :wtf: :omg: :omg: :omg: :wtf:

If the ease of programming is your major concern, I'd look into game programming with Python[^]

I'm not coding for a living, just for hobby, so i think assembler maybe is too much, i still want to sleep you know, as a VB developer i really get used to it :cool:
just joking about assembler. It sucks. I just have to be able to read it to do my job. And its painfull. sooooooo painfull. Especialy all the different platforms and how they order parameters! Arrrgggggghhhh!

I'll second a vote for XNA (though just for Windows, not for XBox or the Windows Phone 7). That may require you to learn C# (though it's very similar to VB.Net). And if you buy a USB wireless XBox controller, that makes it even more fun. I implemented controller logic for the OmniSnake pseudo-game I started making. Was pretty fun.

If your going that route: Free Game Engine Had to use it in school. Not too bad, not that I would know otherwise. It was used for some production games at one time or another.

XNA. I too have just started to really write game libraries and it is quite interesting. On a lighter note, try re-creating Call of Duty - Black Ops in VB6 (will blow your brain apart for sure).
Finally is not executed always. As told by Sir Pete and PiebaldConsult. Go figure.

Have you not heard of Call of Duty?! :omg: It has to be one of the best selling game series's EVER.

I’m 48 level with 1800 kills, looking forward to enter the “prestige“ mode sometime this week. My amusement was caused from the usage of COD and VB in one sentence.
