hey i was wondering if consule games were written in a programming language similar to c++, or in c++, cuz i thought somewhere on this board some ppl were talking about it, but i couldnt find it, and my friend doesnt believe me

OpenGL and DirectX are Graphics API's. You use them in languages like C/C++.
To answer the first guys question: Most modern console games are programmed in C/C++/Assembly.
I'm sure that most consoles use C/C++/ASM and they probably have their own graphics APIs which are similar to OGL or DX.

XBox uses DirectX I believe.
In order to produce a game for a console, you need to get a license that costs thousands of dollars. Then you need to buy a new C++ compiler for the console, which costs a couple hundred dollars. Once you're done with the game, you have to pay royalties to Sony/Nintendo/etc.
Now, with PC, almost everything you need is free(except your computer of course). Heck, Microsoft even gives away DirectX for free!
So, yes console games are written in C++/C, but don't plan on using C/C++ to write console games any time soon.

haha, i wont be writing consul games anytime in this lifetime, im still working making dos programs (and low level programs at that).
and thx for all the replies, thats kinda wut i thought, although i didnt know anything about the opengl or directx stuff. thats pretty cool tho.

Well, to program in some consoles you dont have spend much money, with Dreamcast. you could use VC++ and some free software to test oyur games on the Dreamcast then either make or buy a cable to do the transfers. Not the Sega certified way but cheap.
