Hey,

I'm an A level computing student who wants to make a horror RPG-style game for my project. So I want all the functions of moving my character, having them interact with items, having items interact with them and having a timer triggered for a chase scene. I haven't really got any experience coding, so I'll have to learn a new programming language, and I was wondering what one would be the most appropriate and why? My options are:

Python

C family of languages

Java

Visual Basic

PHP

Delphi

Thanks! (not a language option)

Welcome!

“for your project” ? Is this a educational assignment?

Eleanor, do any of your computing teachers know anything about game development?

My hint is:

1. go with c and opengl 1.0 + glut (obsolete, but very simple and easy to handle)
2. or do it with html+javascript (a little bit harder and hacky, but you can learn a lot)
