People build softwares, I build softwares that helps people build softwares. C, C++, asm, python, C# and Rust.

Building your own game engine is hard (as a beginner), but it's not as hard as you think. And, it's not as hard as fighting someone else's engine for 2000+ hours per year

@2lchain in rust and zig, it wouldn't. (If i am not mistaken). Pointers can't be null on default

[Bruce @Bullshark_Bruce]

@gpu_governor I use C to learn new things. I use C# to get paid.

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

@faceless_sudan People that argue about it don't care about your passion. They just want you to join their fantasy, they think they know what's best for everyone.

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

Whether you choose Rust or C, you will still be unemployed anyways.
And if you are already employed, just focus on whatever language that pays your rent (even if it isn't C or Rust at the end of the day).

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

@hm_boa_pergunta No, Zig is C with caution. Not 100% memory safe but more safer than C.

now what is the sole purpose of odin?

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

@unclegubsey i don't think odin can take the game dev scene from C++ as it's not object oriented, even C couldn't take the graphics programming crowd from C++. all graphics api like vk, dx and gl are in C, but everyone use c++ for it and not C.

@007kowalski in what way?

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

@waozixyz I wanted windows because of vs and .net, but i think i will need to dual boot based on my experience so far

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

apt was my package manager. i just switched to windows, i forgot how painful it is to install C/C++ libraries on windows.
I didn't know i needed to have a PHD in Cmake just to compile a simple opencv program.

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

been in my room all day writing C++, like a prison inmate

Hate microsoft or not;
Visual studio code is the best IDE

C Projects intermediate

1. Emulator :
Chip8 emulator - 100 to 300 loc
Gameboy emulator - 500 to 1k loc

2. interpreter:
a simple programming language around 1k to 5k loc

3. Desktop application
Like a simple music player in SDL3 - 300 to 600 loc

Microsoft once tried rewriting Windows NT kernel components in C++ but reverted to C because of performance issues and unpredictable object lifetimes. Even big companies learn from C++’s complexities!

@mu_chrinovic @TheLobbyistGuy Oop is the best paradigm for game dev, my SDL C++ code base is more re-useable than when i use SDL C and structs

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

You are missing Object oriented Programming. Neither Rust or C is Object Oriented

[Jay @TheLobbyistGuy]

I’m proficient in C and Rust. What am I missing out on by not knowing anything about C++?

[GPU Governor @gpu_governor]

@Life_Anomaly Inheritance is one of the greatest thing that ever happened to man kind

@TheLobbyistGuy you are missing oop
