Is C++ the right language for me to learn to use Outerra.
« on: May 03, 2014, 08:00:31 am »
Hey folks I just wanted to know if C++ is the right language to learn if I wanted to use the Engines Sdk when it eventually comes out. For my planned game Stale Nation I have been using C++ for all scripts and code. Is this the best language to use or is there a more native language for the Sdk than C++?

C++ for the native API, Javascript and later probably LUA for scripting. Scripting is usually not done in C++ because you need something that you can modify in run time.

That's great thanks and will the Sdk source be available for those who purchase commercial licences. So Lua will be supported for scripting.
