I want to learn C programming (reason: microprocessor programming in electrical engineering), but I want to get a head-start and learn the jargon and basic skills before school starts. So I got my hands on a student's licence of MS Visual Studio 2010.
I want to make a 'game' that can handle internet communications, dice-rolling, login features, super-users, multiple concurrent users and some other stuff, including a Windows-interface.
So my question is: Can I use C programming language for this, or do I need to step it up to use C++? Can MS VS 2010 compile properly C language?
