Hi all,
Our IPT class is using Visual Basic Express for the programming topic,
and next term they will be doing their major project (a game).
I have a couple of students who have asked if they can use other
languages apart from VB.
One student (currently on a VHA) has asked about using Visual C#, which
I said will probably be okay, as he would be demonstrating all of the
same skills that he would be if he was using Visual Basic.
But another student (also a VHA) has asked if he can use something
called 'Danmakufu' which is a game scripting language based on C. You
can get an idea of it here:

I told him that I was concerned that because it is a game scripting
language, he will have an advantage over those using VB, which is
obviously just a generic coding environment. But he will still have to
use variables, control structures like loops and arrays, etc, so I don't
know. He's very keen to use it.
It's most likely that I'll tell him 'no', but I wanted to get other
opinions first.
Thanks,
