Coding programs

[cxn]

Hi, I'm new to the programming things etc..
I did work a bit with Modula but the things you could do with it were very limited.
I'd like to play arround a bit, perhaps creating a very small MS DOS game just to get myself going. A game were you can buy and sell, things like that, very simple.
Which program would be excellent for this kind of stuff?

Thanks

ANSI C++ is what I would recommend.

Hmm a Dos game you say.. what about Pascal? Simple to learn and simple to make games, I had to learn it for some reasons and had to make quite some games and programs with it. Good for your DOS game

Do you really mean MS-DOS? I think you're thinking about the console/prompt/commandprompt/whatever, but of course, I may be wrong.

I would go for C or C++. It's easy to make console applications, and it has some relative good functions in the windows-header. If you're on Linux, then ncurses is really good.
