I'm not sure what the languages are off the top of my head, but I think that Jig is the guy you need to speak to if you want to have a go with C#.

There's no harm in asking MStrobel about it as well though. You might be able to learn TWO new languages if you're lucky, since the projects are being done in different (And therefore incompatible) languages.

Send them a PM and let them know what your skills are, what the languages you'd like to learn are, and maybe some examples ofwhat you've done in the past; that sort of thing. And good luck.

I believe Jig is writing in C

im pretty positive Mstrobels in C#

Nemitor is correct, Jig is using a language called C-Script, and I am using C#. If you want to learn a new language to spruce up your resume, C# would be an excellent choice. I'd recommend you pick up a copy of by Jeffrey Richter.

If you're familiar with VB syntax in any way, C# won't be too much of a stretch, if at all. The syntax is similiar, with some noteable differences (from what I can tell - I haven't done much with C# specifically), and the projects are pretty much set up the same.

I'd highly recommend getting some experience in C++ if you're looking for something different. Particularly if you have access to a compiler or a Linux/Unix box (which typically has a C++ compiler included).

C# and C++ share a lot of common language characteristics. Syntactically, C# is roughly midway between C++ and Java, with a few really slick language additions. It's the defacto language for .NET development, and it's both powerful and quite easy to pick up. It's great for rapid development, and there will be a lot more support for game development in C# once Microsoft releases the XNA Framework, which is a modified version of the .NET CLR and some specialized libraries (like Managed DirectX), which will enable game development in C# and other .NET languages for both Windows and X-Box 360.

Well, I'd forget about Java--it lacks a lot of the nice language features found in C# and C++, and the performance of the Java VM isn't up to par with the .NET CLR. Undoubtedly, a lot of people would tell you to learn C++. However, I'm part of the new breed of programmers rallying behind virtual machines, and I'm a strong backer of C#. Honestly, C# would probably be the best language to learn in terms of helping your resume, as it's becoming very popular. There are a lot of C++ shops and VB shops that are migrating to C# because it's a nice middle ground. It's generally considered "easier" than C++, and it's certainly a safer language. At the same time, it's often considered more powerful and syntactically pleasing than VB. Learning C++ would be fairly trivial once you know C#, and Microsoft is trying to move a lot of development towards the C#/.NET platform, including game development (see my comments on the XNA Framework). It'd definitely be easier to start with C# than it would be to start with C++.
