C++ or C#



if you are looking to get into video games, i suggest making a demo game. an easy and free way to do this, is start with microsofts XNA studio. it's free and uses a free version of C#. It's pretty easy to use as a framework and makes 2d and 3d games, and uses direct x (i think).

c++ and c
Mostly C++. C# is sometimes used, but the disadvantages are that:

* Games are not portable when written with C#

* C# applications tend to be bloated and slow (compared to C++)
