What software would I use to make good games like Terraria? I am willing to spend money if it is worth it. I would love to make a real game like that. Any help is appreciated smile

Thanks.

Java seems to be what a lot of people are using these days.

Hmm.. Terraria seems to be written in C#. I'll try Java, but I've only very basic knowledge.

Java, C++, C.

Java seems good! I learnt how to do basic graphics.

Java's popular and powerful. C++ is also really good, and has several 3D graphics engines including Horde3D (my personal favorite, but I can't quite figure out how to get it working) and Ogre3D (I'm being forced to switch to it while I try to get Horde3D working). Also, you might try Python- it has exceedingly simple syntax which is combined with power, and has several good graphics engines, including Python-Ogre (a Python binding of Ogre3D) and Panda3D (my personal favorite for Python). If you go with Java, check the tutorials at thenewboston.org.

Pretty much any language that supports graphics and is fast tongue

or you could use game making software such as unity or Unreal

Also, Lua is really good, and was used to write World of Warcraft, Star Wars Battlefront II, and Angry Birds. For me, the graphics engine Löve2D usually runs on 61 FPS.
