Choosing a language for the 3d engine...

[Ncatdesigner]

Hi people!!!!

I have notions about many languages, But I'd like to know which language do you recommend me.

Because of is a 3Dgame and must be as efficient as possible I think the language matters.

I'm between c++ and c#

I think c++ is as powerful as dificult and c# it's easyer

And the important points are:

The game will run under windows
Using OPengl
Must be fast

Any suggestion?

Personally, I prefer C++, although you might want to write the high computational graphical part in C++ and the game logic in C#, while using managed/unmanaged C++ to.

If you don't want to get involved with C++, CsGL implements a wrapper for OpenGL allowing any .NET language to use it.

Best of luck !

C# can be almost as fast as C++ (the difference is not noticable) and has some neat tricks and a wide standard library.
However seeing as you want to use opengl I think C++ is a better choice.

If you still want to use C# I think you should check out the tao framework http://www.taoframework.com/Home , since CsGL (which hasn't been updated since april 2003).
