Introduction
Game programming language
Game programming language is the software
development for video games and is a subset of
the game development. It requires the substantial
skill in the software engineering. Game
programming required specialization in the
following areas to create game

• Simulation
• Computer Graphics
• Stage Design
• Physics
• Audio Programming
• Input
• Artificial intelligence

Different types of Games

• DOOM-like first-person gamesThese games are full
  3D and can view them from the characters
  perspective.
• Sports gamesSports games can be either 2D or 3D.
• Arcade/shoot-up/platformThese games are your
  typical Asteroids, and Jazz Jackrabbit type
  stuff.
• Mechanical simulationsThese games encompass any
  kind of driving, flying, boating, racing, and
  tank-battle simulation,
• Ecosystem simulationsThis is really a new kind
  of game that has no real-world analog other than
  the real world itself.

Different programming language for Game

• Computer and video games programming are written
  primarily in
• C
• C
• Assembly language 

• Various script languages are used for the
  generation of content such as game play and
  especially AI
• Ruby
• Lua
• Python

Different programming language strength and
weakness for Game
Language Strengths Weaknesses
Assembly Potentially minimal CPU overhead Error-prone, slow development, difficult to learn, not portable
C Widely known, numerous tools Lack of object-oriented functionality, difficult for large projects or multiple platforms
C Object-oriented, widely used, numerous tools Development costs of manual memory management, "boilerplate" code, and potentially long compilation times
C Object-oriented, automatic memory management, offers reflection Generally limited to Microsoft platforms (Windows and Xbox),garbage collection overhead, easily reverse-engineered
Java Object-oriented, automatic memory management, widely portable, offers reflection Lack of user-defined value-types,garbage collection overhead, memory overhead, unavailable on major gaming consoles, easily reverse-engineered

Games development tools
Game development tool is a software application
which facilitates the making of the
Game(Computer or video Games).

• For example-
• IDE and 3D graphics modelling are game tools
  which are COTS
• product.
• 2D and 3D package ( Blender, GIMP, Photoshop 
  and3D Studio
• Max) are used for view and modification of
  assets.
•  
• 3D models, textures are used for the conversion
  of assets into
• required format for the Game.

Various Game Programming language

• Scratch programming language
• Squeak Smalltalk programming language
• Kodu programming language
• Greenfoot programming language
• Kojo programming language
• Unity programming language
• Guido Van Robot programming language
• Hackety programming language
• Laby programming language
• Illumination Software Creator programming
  language
• xKarel programming language
