Would it me easier to learn how to code in pawn for samp or minecraft bukkit java plugins?

Pawn for samp

[StuartD]

Once you learn one, it'll be easier to start with others, which would you prefer to start? Are you more passionate about SA-MP or Minecraft?

Well I love both, I currently have a minecraft server because you don't need to know how to script, but been able to make your own unique plugins would be a bonus.

Not really, Java and Pawn differentiate a lot, be it by the code (OOP/FO) or how it works or compiles.


PAWN should be easier, because the function names are really obvious and you can control all the arrays.
What I mean with "control the arrays"

pawn Код:

new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z;
GetPlayerPos(playerid, x, y, z);

You can see that x y and z will hold something and the name of the arrays will be x y z
in Java

PHP код:

var pos = player.getPos(); 


Now you have pos.x pos.y pos.z and who made the function completely doesn't care if you like the x y z or maybe a b c is better for you.


OT: I still do agree that the thread starter should go with what he want to focus and advance more.

Java, it's simple and easy to learn ... most universities and colleges use it today as Intro language to Programming...
Once you master it, everything else will be a piece of cake

I suggest learning programming logic by learning PAWN, after that you could try learning more useful languages. I heard C++ is very similair to PAWN

I prefer pawn for SA:MP than Java Script.

Start with pawn. That's easier scripting language, in my opinion., but once you learn it, you will got some strange to learn the other language:
Example

Код:

In C++:
void ThisisAfunction(int a)
{
    int b = a;
}

In Pawn:
ThisisAfunction(a)
{
    new b = a;
}

You're right.

PAWN is something I went off to learn first. After that, I went and learned other programming languages. I found it much easier.
