    Pascal is an imperative programming language that is for the most part dead these days. It was very popular durin mid 70s through late 80s. There are many, many other languages out there. C, C++ and java are not the only programming languages. The number is big. Delphi, Clipper, Simula, Smalltak, Python, Visual Basic, Assembly, ....

    C# is not C. Neither it is C++. C# is it's own programming language which borrows the syntax from C++. It only compiles and runs on computers with the .Net Runtime. It is thus a very limited language in terms of those who can benefit from its programs. It's just a YAPL (Yet Another Programming Language)

    lol no not googled them.

    thanks for explaining C# and Pascal.

    out of all the ones you listed, whats the best for making a 2D online multiplayer game with? maybe a card game.

    also is there any websites for tutorials on Visual Basic and if u know C++, will Visual Basic be easier?

    Cheers, Hugo.

    So you made a mistake in not googling for the other two languages, and now you immediately repeat it?

    The one you know best and feel most comfortable with. The one you've learned for at least 6 months before attempting such a project.

    also is there any websites for tutorials on Visual Basic and if u know C++, will Visual Basic be easier?
    Yes (Google - but VB is outdated and not particularly worth learning anymore, IMO) and yes. (Any programming language will be easier if you understand the basics of programming.)
    All the buzzt!
