I skipped Pascal and Java(yuk)and have used the usual scripting languages, Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, etc... I'm bored with coding C/C++ and would like to try something new... 8^) Anyway, I'm really intrigued by Ada and I'd like to "go out on a limb" and see how Ada measures up to C/C++ for game development. I'm thinking about both the 2D and 3D regimes, such as an isometric style game in 2D and a FPS for 3D. You don't see Ada mentioned anywhere (that I know of) in game development circles. Is there a specific reason why? I'd like to hear from any in this NG with an opinion or insight on the subject. Thx! -- FREENET By X-Privat - http://www.x-privat.org/infofreenet.php
