Here are some common programming languages used in game development ¹:
- *JavaScript*: One of the first web development languages, used to create interactive web elements that engage users.
- *C++*: One of the most common programming languages with a relatively high entry barrier, but the reward is greater because it allows more direct control over the hardware and graphical processes.
- *Java*: A very dynamic language with lots of applications, and also one of the easiest programming languages to learn.
- *HTML5*: A powerful video game programming language and can be used in place of JavaScript in some cases.
- *SQL*: Used for back-end database work so that the player can access their account and do other things on the server, like in MMORPGs.
