Orin, Is that a question or a statement? ;) No, you can use other languages. However depending on what they are, they may need to be interpreted into Obj C.
For example, I can place lines of C++ code right in the middle of my Obj C code and it works just fine. Not all languages will behave like this though… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Apr 2, 2012, at 4:30 AM, Orin wrote: You know, does Apple only let you code games in Objective C? That's kind of a slap in the face to people who prefer other languages such as Python. I'm in the Mac dev program so I'd love to create a game, but I can't get my head around BGT, which means I won't be able to get my head around Objective C. I was looking at Patyon and the syntax and everything is just easier, plus I like how you can test if something works or if you are doing it right in the Python shell.
