There's no best, many of the greats are made with a lot of different variations.

You'd want to learn C++ as a base, then the more individual ones will become a lot easier.

It also depends what type of game you're wanting to program for, so far you've said 'online game' which can mean anything, you need to define more (2d/3d fps/rpg/rts) etc etc.

Notepad foe teh win ;o

or do you mean a compiler?

compilers and programs that ease the pain of programming (i like to call them advanced notepads) can all be found on that wonderful place called google.

C++ is ok, but i wouldn't go with C#, (The .net framework is bloated and ****e imo).

Personally I think Delphi is a good choice. It can do Low level stuff, or high level stuff. So it can be powerful and easy at the same time. (Its also comparable to C/C++ speed/efficiency wise).

If your aiming for cross compatibility, then either Delphi or C++ will work, but stay clear of C# (Unless you use Mono i suppose)
