I'm doing 3D games though, with OpenGL. Would definitely use LÖVE if I was doing 2D games.

I have looked at it, yes. But it seems like it's not very well integrated with Linux. On Linux I usually prefer to use a text editor for editing code. So I would prefer a language which suits being edited in one.

What I'm really looking for is a language suited for gamedev. And I've found C# with Visual Studio fits that very well. Unfortunately I mostly use Linux.

I would probably pick C++ then. Like it better than Java, but unfortunately not as good as C#.

The problem here is "done right". Java is certainly not as polished as C# in a lot of senses.

from the ask-hn dept.

C# is a relatively high level language which is exceptionally suited for games. Are there any alternatives which are as good as it on Linux? Suitable for game development of course. Or completely different languages that are good for game dev if you think that.
