learn PHP and MySQL those together are the most powerful languages you can learn for web based programming.

I don't think web based programming is going to do much for an RPG, though. Granted, I'm assuming he also wants to make it a single player game like Golden Sun is. C++ is generally the go-to programming language for gaming.

PHP is the most annoying language I have dealt with (in my limit span of doing not much more than HTML.) If you can use it, it would be quite good fun I suppose. - not sure what it has to do with the OP though.

C++?

php is one of the easiest programming languages to learn out side of VB. because you dont know how to do it doesnt make it annoying its actually easier than c++/java etc in the fact that it doesnt require you to declare veriables. how about you try another language like c++ or java then still call PHP annoying. and HTML isn't a programming language.

anyways i thought he was making a website for an RPG misunderstood .

C++ and Java. Ive started learning PHP and C++ (I got stuck with one then started the other ) and both are frustrating at times. I find its more or less just the books that do a lousy job of explaining certain things. PS you wont be limmited to programing an rpg with these.

dev c++ is nice but there are a ton of text editors that you can download c++ compilers for. and if your thinking about actually programming a game defenetly go with c++ or java php is a dynamic web based language and it will be impossible to make a game with it unless its like hangman or something lol which ive made before

All you need to learn c++ is a book (or something like that) and a compiler. I like Bloodsheds compilers.
