psp homebrew programming languages?

[Kloe]

I am thinking about attempting to learn a programming language. (tried java and gave it up but willing to start again) I was wondering which programming languages homebrew is mostly coded in. This might help me decide which language I want to learn first. I'm not looking to be a heavy programmer, I just have a few hours a night to devote to this.

Most games are written in C/C++, and lua (Scripting.)

There are also compilers for assembly and python.

Depends really if you only have a few hours I would say Lua it is easier

yes... but you sacrifice quality coding in lua

go C/C++ its a bit more pratical no???

If that's your first attempt to learn programming, I advise you to start with lua. If you're an experienced coder you could coded in C/C++.

hmm you say there's some python applications? I wouldn't mind seriously learning python, I learned a few of the very basics of python awhile ago and I like that language a lot. It's much easier to learn. ^.^ If I somewhat master Python would that be good enough to learn C/C++? If so I think i'll go that route.

what xandu said as its your first time you should start in lua, im starting college in september they wouldnt let me code in c+ because its my first time i have to use pascal

thanks for all the suggestions guys. I have decided to go with Python. I'm sure i'll be able to find lots of uses for python outside of the psp as well, and it has some good beginner tutorials.

Not true some games can turn out to be quite good
