    Best language for building a basic game
    What's the best scripting / coding / programming language for making a simple game (like Snake, or a game like cubfield for example)

    I prefer C programming language. It's what professional game developers use, almost universally. Also, It's very good documented, there are endless books and free online tutorials. As far as the currect situation stands, the core functionality is mostly made in C while the other gaming functionality can be implemented in Python or C.

    C# is best for games.
