[net.micro.cbm] BEST LANGUAGE FOR GRAPHICS AND GAMES?

robertk@tekig.UUCP (Robert Kaires) (04/04/84)

I would like to know what the best high level language (higher than assembly)
is for the C64 that fully supports commadore graphics and sprites.
By best I mean:
             1)fast enough to do annimation (eg. as in games)
             2)supports sound generation
             3)is structured (no BASICs)
             4)leaves some memory,about 30k would be nice

Also does anyone out there have game development experience? Is assembly 
language the rule for writting games? Given the four constraints above 
what high level languages have you used to write games?
    
Thanking you in advance,
Bob Kaires

I think it is safe to say that most games are assembly.  However, I've
run into several games writers using FORTH.  I love FORTH, myself.
Complicated to learn completely, but fun fun fun.
