Lua or GameMaker's GML language?
>>
>>103295833
i learned GML when i was 12. no idea what lua is like but GML is easy.
>>
lua is easy but it's so simple that you have to be good at programming to make shit with it, the standard library is anemic on purpose to keep it lightweight
>>
>>103295896
I was thinking of learning lua to make games with the Defold engine
>>
They are easy enough to learn. Do you know any programming languages already? They are both kind of retarded little scripting languages, so you will probably learn some retarded things if they are your only languages. But if it's for (simple) gamedev that might be enough.
>>
this thread again?
>>
>>103296350
yes

>considering a one-off proprietary shitlang
Just learn Lua, it has tons of uses.
>>
>>103296942
such as? and I wanted to learn a language to make a 2D game
>>
Lua is very reasonable overall. Use it.
>>
>>103295833
Da fuck is GML? Use lua and Love2D.
>>
>>103295927
After intro C I dabbled with Java...Lua is a fucking weird language. But my ultimate goal was platformer, dungeon crawler, or boomer shooter so Defold it was. I can use Trenchbroom, dev on Linux, AND publish to multiple platforms including console.
