This means it's faster than Java and C#, correct?
So you could either make a game in Java or C# and it'd be cross platform so you could release a universal executable.
OR, you could make it in C++, and compile individual executables for different platforms.
It'd be a TINY inconvenience for the player, and the game would run faster overall.
And I don't see how that would affect online play, you could still build a MMO.
Amrite?
Just started reading my book on C++ so I'm learning...
Also, what's the best compiler for just typing in notepad and saving as .cc?

It can be faster because it's straight up native code.

C++ can be cross platform, just look at the Quake games for example. They are absolutely everywhere, on phones, on all kinds of OS's... but you'll be using OpenGL for the renderer.

Also, there is a runtime of sorts, but it's usually distributed, or statically linked. You do not NEED to use it... but you'll be left handling some things your self. (and you get the added bonus of a ridiculously small executable)

Java and C# can be plenty fast, I wouldn't doubt that good Java / C# code could outpace shit C++. There's a Java version of Quake 2 somewhere, which is pretty close to the original C code in terms of speed, not to mention there's probably assembly code everywhere in the original code, since speed was so important then.

But there is a difference.
Which means I'm learning something.

C#/Java are interpreted languages which means they are nothing but scripts that run of programs.. java programs run of java.exe and C# runs of .NET framework runs on your pc 24\7 as a service (hidden exe) and scripts just load on it when you open your programs written in C#.

Now C++ if you write a program in that it aint a script anymore it gets translated into assembly and runs straight to CPU and a few common runtime dll files for api calls but those are just for wrapping for functions to write text on console and stuff..

anyways C++ is much faster and cannot be compared to C#/Java as those are not really programming languages.

But Java has applets which work in browsers and C++ doesn't but.. you could still code your own applet (DivX on website player was coded in C++).

He wants to say they are 'scripting languages' but that would be claiming that Python, Perl, Lisp et al are not programming languages.

Also, Java and .NET are compiled into bytecode and are therefore not interpreted. They are virtual machine languages - the compiler compiles them into the machine language of a machine that doesn't actually exist. They are then run on an emulator for that machine (JVM, CLR runtime).

Slov, Quake2 and Quake3 are pure C fyi .

So arrite.

I can tell you right of the bat why you are wrong and yes the Java/Perl/C# (all .NET's) are interpreted and are scripting languages.


There is a simple way to test this out..

All interpreted languages stay the same when you press the compile button they just get compressed into bytes so it would look like machine code.

But all interpreted languages such as Java Perl C# all have decompilers which means you could easily decompile it back to source code.. by a use of these public software.

Now can C/C++ be decompiled I haven't seen any thats bacause C/C++ does it differently it transforms it into CPU language not just into unreadable symbols so you pretty much got a new language from that point on.

And to decompile that language would be only possible if you could program a human brain into the computer to do your tasks of decompilng assembly code to C/C++.

Now for Java/C#/Perl you don't need to program any brain to do that because all the parts are still they are just compressed.. so how do you decompress a winrar file? you run it threw UnRar.exe.

Thats the big difference.
