Interpreted Languages - There are many different languages that are used when creating games and software, Languages are needed as the background code for many different types of applications and software which may need a dedicated language to run what is needed. Between the languages there are many differences, some are faster than others whereas other languages aren't able to run certain things like games or applications. The main interpreted languages are Java, J2ME , and C#.
Java - Java is a programming language expressly designed for use in the distributed environment of the internet. It was designed to have the "look and feel" of C++ but be simpler to use. J2ME - J2ME is a technology that allows programmers to use the Java programming language and also the related tools to develop programs for mobile devices. C# - C# is also known as C sharp, it is object-oriented and allows you to build reusable components for applications. Compiled Languages - Compiles languages are much faster than the other languages, they are normally used for more powerful and extensive games which need fact processing to run and display. One of the most popular compiled languages is C++. The difference between compiled and interpreted languages is that when you use compiled languages they cannot be changed after they are compiled. C++ - C++ is a programming languages which was developed by Bjarne Sroustrup in 1979. C++ Runs on many different platforms such as Windows, Mac OS and many other platforms. This language is used world wide for simple scripting and to define and create complex programs across multiple platforms. Object-oriented - Object oriented programming is a programming language model which is organized around objects rather than actions and data rather than logic. really a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data, processes it and then produces output data. Scripting - Scripts are used in the background of games and are normally combined with complex game engines to run them. They can be short and easy to make to carry out an advanced action like running certain cut scenes, there are three programs that can be used for scripting, these are:
