    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.

    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.
     
    I use C++ and Visual Basic (Windows 98 anybody? :P ).
     
    There is something i wanna know, I wanna to be a Programer when i grow up, both Video Games and Computers and I wanna learn about the
    langs:

    C+, C++, LUA (I heard its a sort-of AI-Programming language), Java, Java Script, MEL, and GOAL

    Does anyone have any info on any of them?

    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 really only got the hang of HTML and a little bit of CSS and XML. I've never touched Java
     
    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.
     
    Assembler (for x86 and ARM7TDMI), C, VB6 (just a little)
     
    Java. Its for my secret project im macking right now and well i am thinking about this little project for the computer running it on java for mobile phones.
     
    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).
     
    what program should i use to edit scripts in pokemon roms? i want to make a whole new area for fire red version, like in the metal generation (gold, silver, crystal). to do this, though, im going to need to know what o use to do it with. i have microsoft visual studio with VB6, C++, C#, and i know a bit of CSS and HTML. please help me.
     
    I know HTML and GUI, a bit of Java and Python, and am learning JASS right now, but its not for pokemon roms, just programming
     
    GUI and HTML? Haha

    Anyways...I use the programming language that has most of my interest at some given time. Right now it's JavaScript...
