What Is The Best Programming Language For Games

C++ is the best programming language for game development because it is fast, has reliable compilers and optimizers, allows for control over memory management, and has extensive libraries for complex graphics. C++ has been used to build most major console and PC games and has a large body of knowledge and support. While other languages like Python and Lua are used for scripting, C++ is considered critical for big game development studios.

What is the best programming language for

games?
C++ is the best programming language for games because of the large body of knowledge and
frameworks built around. Here's why it's special.

C++ has long been the best programming language for game development, and for good reason.
It’s reliable, time-tested and has a large body of knowledge to support it.

Why is C++ the best coding language for games?

Since C++ is a high-level language that will teach you the basics of object-oriented
programming, it's a good idea to learn it. It's also the language used to build most big console
and Windows games. 

C++ is complemented by C in these games, and assembly languages for creating low-level
engine modules.

Scripts like Python, Lua, UnrealScript, or some in-house scripts will thread through the code.
Plus, shader code for graphics uses OpenGL, or a similar framework.

But for tackling big games in the larger gaming companies, knowing C++ is critical. It's benefits
include:

 It's fast
 The compilers and optimizers are solid
 You get a lot of control over memory management.
 It has extensive libraries, which come in handy for designing and powering complex graphics. 

There's also a lot of literature around for you to teach yourself, as it's been programmers'
language of choice for decades, and you'll find a helpful online community who are ready and
willing to answer your queries.
