    I was told by someone that i would want to learn C for a pokemon romhack.

    Anyone know where i can find some good books on how to do it, or another language i should use?

    My only experience with anything of the sort was Python in my high school programming class.

    This is better suited in Computers & Technology since you aren't asking about hacking.

    Do you have an idea as to why they told you you would want to learn C?

    Are you planning to make any programs that you will use for your ROM hack?

    Or are you just going to use existing programs?

    My guess is that someone told you that, because its easier to understand scripting if you have programming experience.

    I use Python, because it can be compiled on all major operating systems :B

    I also know a fair bit of Objective-C, which is primarily used on the Mac OS X operating system.

    It's used by Relic, the RTS developer well-known for making Dawn of War, to program their games' AI and script files.
    I'm told it's 'Turing complete' which means it can handle any programmable function, which makes perfect sense since as a language it was made to handle a wide variety of paradigms without being overly complex.
    Lua is not an abbreviation, mind you, it's a word: Portuguese for moon.

    • I prefer Python, mostly because I play a computer game that is built using Python as its program code, and I like to make mods for it and expand upon it

    Python can get really slow if you're using it for an actually...like...intensive game...

    But right now I'm focusing on Java in college. Major similarities between C and Java and...it's just fun. Can also be compiled to use on most operating systems with little change.

    I'm pretty good with PHP and Python. I also know a decent amount of C (still have a lot to learn, though). Other languages I have used are C++ (very little) and Visual Basic (I took it in high school...it was a prerequisite for Java, which they would not put me in for some reason).
