@luciole @modev I think that's terrible advice. A lot of games are written in C/C++ and building something yourself is a good way to learn. Game Engines don't always help in fact I would say a framework + a couple helpful libraries is going to make you much faster at programming a game than a game engine ever will.

What language isn't? C is of course not perfect and there are many things I wish would have changed in the language but its quite a productive language and there is a reason it became the lingua franca. Of course a lot of that has to with it's relationship with Unix.
