I figured you might be biased:) Most of what I see points to C#. The only real advantage, and it is nothing to dismiss, is there are a lot of free/cheap pre-created code, etc., from "The Game Creators" via the Microsoft web site. But I think ultimately you are right. I don't want to rely on plug-in content, I want to create my own:) Thanks for the response.</p> <p>Drew</p> Thanks.

I have had a great time working with, and more importantly learning from Open Sim. I apologize that this is not related to your post, but I wasn't sure where to go as there are so many different answers, however, seeing all the good info here, I thought I would post. So I want to start developing my own sims/games (3D), start learning programming, etc. Just the basics. What direction to I go in - C# or C++ - I am confused on this:) Many thanks,</p> <p>Drew</p> Forgive the interruption, but I am an amateur programmer looking to expand my skills.
