In wich language is Prison architect made?

[Emsaic]

I was just wondering in wich language (I mean the code not the text xD) is the game made

Thanks

I cannot say for sure as im not the developer but I would assume that it would be in C++ like most games that I have come across are developed in, though I could be wrong

You can see some behind the scenes code here http://youtu.be/Xh93sAN_P7k?t=29m23s

I have no knowledge about coding, so I have no idea what I'm looking at.... but you might!

Nope, no idea

You don't really see any code in that clip. You only see the development environment which looks like Xcode on Mac. The thing is, you can code in multiple languages within Xcode.

Other Introversion games are coded in C++. If you look at the source code IV released from their other games, they always carry around a common library of functions which in coded in C++.

So it would seems logical that at least a part of Prison Architect is coded in C++. Also the fact the Prison Architect targets Windows, Mac, Linux also narrow the language choice.

I would say C++ with support libraries such as SDL & Open GL are used to create Prison Architect.

The core graphical engine is made with OpenGL, maybe a bit of DirectDraw, and the game is made in C/C++, which makes sense when you need straightforward CPU performance for your algorithms.

Probably C++. Some of the game's internal functions use the _thiscall calling convention according to IDA.

Also OpenGL is a library, not a programming language. And DirectDraw is obsolete. Do you mean Direct3D? (which isn't a programming language either, btw)

I never said that OpenGL was a programming language.

The game uses DirectDraw DLL, so it's an assumption it uses DirectDraw functionalities, though I don't have much time to waste confirming that by looking at the import table of dynamic symbols in the PE Header...

C++, apparently: https://twitter.com/ivsoftware/status/3 ... 7897304064
