Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what language you chose to write the games in?

We're only taught Java at uni, and I wonder if it's because it's "easy" (as in, automatic memory management and whatnot), or because it's actually a language that people in industry use.

Jo

I wondered that many times too, being an amateur coder myself (HTML, XML, CSS, etc.)

And what do you code it in. Can you just code it in a text editor???

Jazzie, i could code in a notepad

Me too, I code all my HTML in Textedit. Just some things can't.

You can indeed code in any text editor that doesn't add special characters (ie end of line characters that aren't visible to you, but are to whatever you use to run your code)

But I use editors like Eclipse or Netbeans for my Java projects so I can run them once I'm done coding; they're much betterthan text editors as they warn you about mistakes in syntax, and also give debugging tools to find out where your code's gone wrong.

I can do HTML, CSS, PHP, AJAX... and I use notepad.

oh ho so i m not only GeeK here :P

Dang!!! I need to learn PHP.
