If you're just starting out with programming, I would suggest you continue using Python for a project this big. C++ is faster, but not at all user-friendly, and Python is much easier to learn on the fly without running into pointer errors/memory leaks/weird shit like you will with C++. I'd also suggest libtcod, because I love it and it has a binding for either of those languages.

If you're really uncompromising about speed, Java is almost as fast as C++ and isn't as finicky, although I don't know if there are any decent roguelike-oriented libraries for it.

MAKING VIDEO GAMES IS HARD
Like much, much harder than I suspected. I will never complain about the long wait between DF releases again. Not that I did. Not audibly anyway. Turns out there are good reasons that dozens or hundreds of people collaborate on these things.

BAY 12ers USING LIBTCOD: PYTHON 3x vs 2x
Hey, is it me or is libtcod written in Python 2x? I gotta stop using 3x if it is.
