Do you have to use C++ to program Custom Stories? - ItisisSC - 07-24-2011
Do you have to? Or can I use Python or something?

Amnesia uses AngelScript for scripting, so you can't use neither C++ nor Python.
Though, AngelScript is very similar to C++ and it's more like Python when it comes to referencing.

Okay, so if I learned Python first, then would learning AngelScript be made easier than starting with AngelScript?

Either way is fine, but AngelScript won't be very difficult if you decide to learn it first. It's just a matter of memorizing functions and what they do, and knowing when to apply them.

Alright, thanks!

Learning a general programming language will help learning others.
I'd suggest learning Python first as it has a rising reputation in industry. AngelScript will be easier.
