I want to teach myself a programming language so that I can develop an
AI engine for the abstract strategy board game of Camelot (a game that
was very popular in the 1930s; a cross between (regular) checkers and
chinese checkers).
I would appreciate opinions on what the best language would be for
that purpose. (I know how to program in Visual Basic, and have a
(very small) smattering of knowledge of Cobol, Fortran, C, C++, etc.)
In advance, thank you. (I hope that it is appropriate to post this
message to this group.)
