What language?

[Legendman3]

What programming language is UFO: AI wrote in? Im learning a bit of C++ and I would like to know.

[Thrashard96]

Depends on which file are you trying to edit. Ones are info and directories, while others are commands and instructions.

[Legendman3]

Well then thats odd to me.. but give me a list of languages the game uses then.

The game is written in C. The map editor in C++.

PAUL1UZ5, may referred to ufo files, they're rather configuration files and have easy syntax.

In the pk3 files:

//ANYTHING

Model ../dir/dir/file.extemsion
Ammo ANYTHING_ammo

and so on and so on

In .C files:

{
  {
   Command (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3)
   }
}

Well Im not gonna go learn C so ill stick with editing the editor.

C and C++ are quite similar, you just don't have classes here, no default value for function parameters and so. If you learn C++ I think you will be able to fix some bugs in a C code.

C++ is a *superset* of C. That is, if you know/learn C++, you can always do C.
NO excuse

Oh. Well im new dont kill me with it.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna try to talk you into coding for UFO:AI.
The ufo code is a rather bad starting point for beginners. The examples in your C++ classes will be much easier.
However, once you've done your classes, you'll be able to partially read & understand the ufo code.

I'm the same way, having started with a C++ approach, although all that I know about it I've learned on my own, I did not sit in any class.

[Thrashard96]

Me too...

[Legendman3]

The examples in your C++ classes...

Lol I havent used classes self taught.

[Duke]

ok. change that to
The examples in your C++ books...
