Build and Shoot

This is probably the nerdiest post title of all time, but seriously, what is your coding history and what's your faviourite now?

I am learning Java at the moment, and I've made a few phrase-o-matics, which soon I'm going to turn into some sort of flash game with graphics.

My big project on java is to create a huge 'phrase-o-matic' which generates a story. I have a base down for it, but the compiler seems to hate it :P

The project is so that everytime you click a button titled 'adventureplz' a random story is generated with different characters and places and bad guys and outcomes everytime. Right now I'm working on a little text based RPG, but after I've finished that I'll get to work on 'Adventureplz'.

Here's just some of the code I'v written so far, it should as be mashed together. This is just a small part of it so far.
It doesn't work together so well in a forum post, but you get the general idea

I'm not quite sure. I don't really program much, so...

I mainly work with LUA.

Lua, not LUA.

I don't really have one single favourite programming language, but I mainly use Java, Python and C# and think C is a beautiful language. Many people dislike Java, and I have a few problems with it too, but that's true for pretty much every language (I can't think of any problems with C right now). C# is like Microsoft's version of Java, except the GUI system doesn't suck. Python, while I hate a lot of the principles of it, and it makes me rage a fair bit, it's really nice for quickly hacking something together.

It's a pain in the butt to port your code to other platforms/compilers.

Msl(mirc scripting language)pretty easy to use and it has a really advanced scripting language.

English

Just kidding, I am a noob at coding so I use that yoyo games game creator thing.

the one I know the most about is PYTHON, the first one that i was learning is LOGO. I don't know that much about that one though, and I don't program anymore so it is not a done deal going on

GM studio? or gamemaker? Type yoyo games, and it'll pop up. I've heard of that before. Checked it out, and made a few games. I've seen a few pretty good games made with it, but not as good as other progamming language.

Check it out! here's the link: http://www.yoyogames.com/

Spoiler:

Venomous has some good games, well some at least: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/search?q=Venomous

Tried it, i have low patients and coding is not for me.

Ya, coding is not my thing either. But it was just a suggestion for begginer coders who want something easy to start with. Anyway, maybe it was a bad idea.

That depends on what you're writing really. Plus, you shouldn't have to port it between compilers if you wrote it properly.

As far as scripting languages go, MSL is really bad. As for being "advanced", well, it isn't - it's an extremely simple scripting language. I'm assuming you think it's advanced because of what it can do, but if they'd picked any other language, such as Lua, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. then you'd be able to do all the same things within MIRC, as well as a whole bunch more.

Why did you capitalise the whole word? It's Python, not PYTHON.

It's probably not a great idea to recommend where to start if you haven't done anything more than start yourself, although it's good that you're trying to help.

Ya, I guess I shouldn't. I just read that it was easy to use, but whatever.

Wow, you've been in a really bad mood today

Actually, no, I haven't. Also, that's a pretty mild post compared to some of my other ones.
