pure basic meaning this:

10 print "Hello"20 goto 10

or do you mean Visual Basic when you say "pure basic"? VB is fine and dandy for programming games. A lot of people have coded sweet games in VB. If you're looking to go into the industry, however, C++ is the standard language.

Generally, the more languages you learn, the better off you are.

I'm pretty sure the OP was referring to the compiler. I've never used it, but it's billed as good for games development. If you want to eventually do this professionally, I'd advise C++. If you'd just like to make something to show off to your buddies, go ahead with PureBasic.
