Hey everyone! I'm 13 (almost 14) and have been coding in Luau for the past three years. I'm looking to branch out from just Roblox coding and want to create a chess game or engine. I'm curious about the best programming languages to use for making the board, the pieces, and their movements. Any suggestions?

You might want to consider object-oriented languages like C++ or Python. Both are great for building your chess game! However, it really depends on what you’re comfortable with and how complex you want your game to be.
Honestly, UI can be developed in any language since they all have tools for it. For a chess engine, performance is key, so languages like C, C++, or Rust are top picks. I wrote a chess engine in C++ while at university, and it worked well. You could also use Python if you want to get your project done faster, but it really depends on how serious you’re planning to get with the chess engine.
Should I learn Python first or C++? I've been thinking about this for a while.
