If you want to have a browser game JavaScript would be good as it is the standard based gaming coding language, and because it is built directly on the browser. Java also has a large community so you can probably find references easily. C, C#, C++, and Java are good candidates too, but they tend to be used in more complex games like Smash Bros.  

But if you don't care about browser games, personally I would use Python because it is simple even though it doesn't work on the browser too well and it is beginner friendly. You could also try GD script the native language for Godot.

Overall, you should just do what you feel comforstable doing. :)

If you're looking to interact with games, whether through modding, scripting, automation, or game-related tools, here are the top languages:

  • Lua: Widely used in games like Roblox, World of Warcraft, and Garry’s Mod. It’s lightweight, fast, and perfect for scripting game behavior.

  • Python: Popular for writing bots, mods, and automation scripts. Games like Minecraft (via mods) and Civilization IV support Python scripting.

  • JavaScript: Essential for browser-based games and game overlays. It’s used in web mods, cheat engines, and interactive game dashboards.

  • C#: Often used in Unity-based games for modding and scripting. If a game is built in Unity, chances are C# is your gateway to tweaking it.

  • So if your goal is to play smarter, mod deeper, or automate gameplay, Lua and Python are 

  • Java: Especially relevant for Minecraft, where modding is deeply rooted in Java.

  • So if your goal is to play smarter, mod deeper, or automate gameplay, Lua and Python are your best friends. If you're diving into specific games like Minecraft or Roblox, then Java or Lua will be your go-to.
