I don't think C++ is anywhere near the state of the art in terms of usability. I wonder what he would do with something like Python + PyGame.

- pekk 12y agoEven if that would offer some usability improvements, we've still lost something in how quickly you can draw a circle and play a sound. Don't forget your header files, can you use hardware acceleration?
- bglazer 12y agoI evangelize a lot for Processing [1] but it is the best experience I've had for getting to draw a circle as quickly as possible. It's a limited subset of Java included in a very basic IDE, that was developed at the MIT Media Lab. Its original purpose was bringing computation and graphics to artists and designers. void setup() { ellipse(10,10,20,20); } [1] processing.org
- orangecomputer 12y agoI'm hearing people recommend I try Python quite a bit. I may very well give it a try. I'm not sure why other than a school friend recommending it, but whenever I think "programming", I always think of C files and CPP files, so my first option was to try the C programming language and then C++. I heard that the Battlefield 2 engine was written on Python, or perhaps I could be mistaking it for another engine, but it seemed pretty cool knowing of something that was finally written on something else.
