Hey, I was just wondering what programming language ADOM is written in?

Because as a hobby I make computer games, and was wondering if the source code is ever released what
language I might need to know to help maintain, and update ADOM.

Thanks if anyone can answer this,

It's written in C.

That isn't the best choice for practically any sort of game. IIRC, the language was actually one of the reasons why TB wanted to start working on a new game (in a more suitable language) rather than keep working on ADOM.

Lol, I hate C :(

although I should have figured it would be written in C.

In 1994 C was the main programming language.

What would this 'more suitable language' be?

Thanks if you can answer this ^_^

4? You've got to be kidding :P Computers didn't even exist back then.

It was started in 1994.

I'm pretty sure he meant 1994, not 4 a.D. :)

The 'more suitable language' would be Java, I believe (JADE stands for Java-based Ancient Domains Engine).

I knew that.

My jokes are not obvious enough. :(
