Hi I'm looking for help trying to find a coding language I could use for a 2d side scroller shooter game. I want to make the environment very explosive and customizable and I need to be able to later easily re-write the code for a windows pc. Does anyone know what coding language would be best for me?

The main programming languages for Macs are Objective-C or Swift. It's very difficult to write code for a Mac that can be easily ported to a Windows PC. You may have noticed that very few Windows games are available on Macs; that's one of the reasons.

If you want to write a cross platform game, I can suggest some things .

1. Web Domain : Create a game using HTML,CSS and Javascript for the web . Then port it as a desktop application using node-webkit or as a mobile application using Phonegap.

2. Desktop Domain : You wan to create a game that works on all platforms but want to code just once !? Try Qt C++ .

3. Desktop Specific : Specifically for MAC!? Try Objective C with Cocos2d/3d . For Windows !? Try .NET, C#...
