does it matter much? I'd suggest working in the language you know best. You can always improve performance of slow code. Struggling to learn a language and write a game handicaps yourself, because you've got to learn a whole language to express yourself. Computers are super fast now, you can write a fine platformer in any language. If you're going 3d, the heavy lifting is handled on the video card.
- striking 10y agoSlow code does matter. Especially in 3D. Although the video card is doing most of the work, your slower code is still the one pushing vertices and textures into the GPU and telling it where to draw them. If your code is slow enough, you won't be able to do that at a good refresh rate (remember, 60fps == 16.6ms per frame!)
