I cannot code a game anymore in pure C. My code almost always use classes and other extremely powerful C++ constructs. They are there for you....why not use em?
Make sure you are staying away from C++ for the right reasons. I can't think of any right reasons right now but I'm sure there are some. Incidentally being unable to program in C++ is not a right reason. Buy a book on C++ and you'll never look back.
Quite simply, C++ rocks.
