steve_ancell	Just copped this aver at blitzbasic.com, not tried it myself yet but maybe someone on here could find it useful. www.naalaa.com/ This was also in the same post, link to EGSL on the same page. rb23.yolasite.com/egsl.php

Jayenkai	Also, that page of "ricks games" look eerily similar to how my games looked, a few years ago! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Windows builds only eh? Hmmm, nope. I needs my multi-platform! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Afr0	I don't understand why there are so many languages catering to indie developers. Good thing about this one is it's free (seemingly). I bet if they keep developing it you'll end up having to pay for features. I'm glad I ended up down a path where I don't have to pay for IDE, compiler or features. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

cyangames	Agreed, aren't there enough languages now? It's just as bad on websites with so many souped up versions of javascript, php, etc. Mehh. I'll stick with classic php, mysql, javascript, css and html as long as I can. Having said that, I do love Unity 3D -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Choice is important, as long as you can actually make a choice, and don't end up trying one after another after another, and not actually getting anything done!! Pick one, focus, learn, get used to it, and advance. That's the main trick. IMO : Price isn't important, as long as it's vaguely affordable. I can happily spend up to £100 on a language, as long as I know it'll do what I expect it to do. Monkey gives me multi-platform coding, but it doesn't do a lot of things that I'd like to try my hand at.. Even simple 3D is a chore. But for what I do, it's happy to oblige. But something like Unity, with its £x,xxx price tag as soon as you want to actually use the bloody thing? No thanks!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Just browsed the docs, not much to do backflips about. I do browser-based stuff now so NaaLaa can't do any justice for me. May be usful as a tool for teaching kids to program though.

cyangames	So far I've paid nothing for Unity3D, the free one does what I need just fine. I've bought a few plug-ins from it's asset store (mostly music and some advert extensions) to handle extra bits and bobs that I wouldn't be able to code up or create myself. I went through a phase a few years ago where I popped from one language to another and couldn't find one I liked, aside from actionscript 2 with flash. That was nice to learn...so many years agoooo...Think I made I little demo in Blitz 3D come to think of it. Probably something simple like a tank going pewpew! But yeah, choosing the language that's right for you, also the task at hand is really important! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
