Build and Shoot

What languages or programs is the game developed in? I am interested in learning whatever language, and maybe making a clone of the game.

voxlap was used to make the game, just google it

You mean Ace of Spades? It runs on the Voxlap engine, and it's written in C or C++, server side (PySnip/pyspades) is written in Python. If you're planning to have a look at the code, it's closed source so you can't.

The site: main software is phpbb; langauges are php, mysql, html and javascript.
The classic/voxlap client: the game engine is voxlap, language c++.
OpenSpades: OpenGL is the rendering technology and it is written c++.
Pyspades/Pysnip: written in python.

Whatever you do, try not to use Java. its memory consumption is horrendous, API isn't top notch and if your computer isn't up to it the Runtime Environment is a pain. But if you want to deal with that, then by all means.

What should I use then? C++ seems like the way to go.

Depends on how you build the game. AoS was made with a voxlap engine which made voxels easy to render, hence the low system requirements.
