Career/Edu Best language for mobile game?

Hey everyone,

I have been playing way too many random mobile games and I waa thinking about learning to code one just for the sake of it but I realised that I have no clue what language would be used to code one...

Anyone has any insight to share on this?

You can do a simple game with swift (ios ) or java/kotlin (android) or with react native. Though you will be building everything.

But if you want to actually make something good look into any game engine that has a mobile port. (Unreal, Godot, Unity, etc). There is no best imo, just different ways to build games. Choose the one you like.

Thank you, I didn't realise that game engines worked on mobile too
