>as left-libertarians are in practical terms more left than libertarian

Can't say that much about ancoms, but at least from my experience, the so called "left-market anarchists" and "left-rothbardians" are pretty libertarian even if left-leaning. They usually don't go into SJW shit even if they are a bit progressive. I disagree with them on a lot of their points, but they're fine in my book.

SJW lolberts can fuck off though.

>Hell, it's not even taught at schools anymore while C++ might still be used by 1 or 2 elite-level gamedev universities

I have a CS background and I graduated early this year. We were taught both Java and C++ in college. Those were the only two languages that had courses dedicated to them. We did learn C in our operating systems class though, but that was because the Win32 API is a C API so they wanted us to get use to the quirks that C has (strings as an array of chars, function pointers, plain data structs, etc). We also learned MIPS Assembly but it was just converting basic C code into Assembly code, not writing actual programs.

Everything else was done in Java. In other courses, we had the option to do our homework assignments in either Java or C++ but everyone did them in Java just to get them over with. I would've given extra credits for those who did them in C++ just so they wouldn't lose their C++ knowledge, but I heard that professors don't like giving extra credit either way.

I don't know about gamedev courses though. My college didn't offer any. The closest thing to that would've been our graphics programming class, but we used a custom graphics renderer that our professor made. It just outputs the results to a JFrame (Java GUI) image object. If I could guess, I think that most gamedev courses are done using Unity these days given all the job offerings that have Unity as a requirement.

>However, the simplicity might make things more difficult if you're too used to having access to features that were created after the 1990's.

That's what I'm talking about. Nobody knows how to make games in languages that don't support classes, dynamic arrays, etc anymore.

@ryo @ambos @beardalaxy @ItsSkyDragonz @coolboymew @Binkle I actually tried C with SDL before deciding to use C# back in 2017. Problem was that all the SDL tutorials and documentation is written in C++ which I didn't know at the time.

I probably could read SDL (or SFML since CSFML exists) tutorials know and try to write those programs in C since I know both now. But who even programs games entirely in C anymore outside of homebrew for old consoles or making decomps?

At least with C++, I have a community in case I get stuck. I don't think I would get much help if I write my stuff in C. I would probably get the "use C++, you are making it hard on yourself" response, even if C is technically the better option.

And C is not easier to use. It may be easy to learn, but it's clearly difficult to master. You really need to get comfortable with things like malloc, while in C++ you have string objects and vectors, so you don't have to worry about reallocating space manually.

Most importantly, I think switching from C# to C++ is a much easier transition since C# is closer to C++ than it is to C. Going from C# to C would probably be a nightmare. Maybe one day I will try to write games entirely in C, but not right now.

@ArdainianRight Facebook is a government creation. It's fucking obvious.

@Jim Facebook is a government creation look up LifeLog.

@TopBep And most importantly, I will not forgive those who started this scam in the first place and used it to create their New World Order.

@ambos @beardalaxy @ItsSkyDragonz @coolboymew @Binkle Bombs are for ground targets. There are tanks, turrets, and boats.

I switched to C# back in 2017 because Python (which I was using previously) was too slow but I didn't want to deal with manual memory management. I wasn't able to make a full game in C# until now due to college though.

I plan on using C++ and SFML for my next project however. I don't think it's safe to use C# for long because it's completely controlled by Microsoft and God knows what they will add to .NET and Mono in the future, despite them both being open source now.
