| Dec 1, 2010 at 9:33 | comment | added | Vishnu | @Tetrad: never mind. Actually I've started learning managed directx with c#.A friend game developer of mine cleared that doubt of "will a c++ game developer have more edge over a c# game developer 5 years from now?".Well that was what was haunting me. | |
| Dec 1, 2010 at 6:03 | comment | added | Tetrad | @Vish, apologies then, feel free to edit it to be more precise keeping in mind the comments thus far. If you mean Win32 programming is confusing, then say that. | |
| Dec 1, 2010 at 4:33 | comment | added | Vishnu | @Tetrad : I never found C++ to be cryptic !! I was talking of Visual C++. It seems you edited my post. I really meant C++ using Win32 in Visual C++ IDE | |
| Dec 1, 2010 at 0:38 | comment | added | speeder | SDL, Allegro, OpenGL, OpenAL, ClanLib (not recommended this one), Horde3D, seriously, there are countless libraries that allow you go use C++ without touching Win32 API, even better, those libraries allow easy porting later to Mac, GNU/Linux, or some other stuff. | |

| Nov 18, 2010 at 5:04 | comment | added | Vishnu | @speeder: well I thought directx game programming was done using C++ nad the Win32 Api? Then what API do you suggest I use along with this C++? | |

| Nov 17, 2010 at 16:18 | comment | added | user744 | Between that question and gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/5651/… I feel like we covered it all already. | |
| Nov 17, 2010 at 15:33 | comment | added | Tetrad | Also, -1, slight duplicate: gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/339/… | |
| Nov 17, 2010 at 15:32 | comment | added | Tetrad | I removed references to 'visual c++' from your question since that was just confusing the question. "Visual C++" to most games programmers means just the IDE, and you're asking about C++ the language itself. | |

| Nov 17, 2010 at 13:00 | comment | added | speeder | The Visual C++ editor is cool, but the language Visual C++ (that is: C++ with Win32 GUI API and stuff like that, both with MS Visual C++ or Borland C++ Builder) is pretty confusing and should not be used for games (it is too bloated, and using GDI is slower than using say, SDL, to control the window) | |
| Nov 17, 2010 at 12:59 | comment | added | speeder | Btw: Visual C++? Not just plain C++? | |

| Nov 17, 2010 at 10:34 | comment | added | Vishnu | @GamDroid: I am not interested in knowing what makes a professional 2d game programmer. I am interested in knowing about Visual C++ and why is it so talked about on. | |
| Nov 17, 2010 at 10:16 | comment | added | GamDroid | I also get that a lot. So asked a question in the community as to what skills a professional game programmer should have. Got some nice answers focussing on C++ as better language for developing games. check.. gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/5552/… | |
