turbo? clean? basic? Is C still a contender?
I'm new to C.
Read part of one book (it was mis-printed and was missing a chunk), picked up a book on Turbo C (seems to have some of the basics at least), plan to read other books, have a copy of FreeBSD to put on the computer I'm borrowing...
I think I want to stay with C and not learn C+ right now.
I'm working on the development of a prototype of an interactive game/planning tool (my own design).
Think I'll go read some other posts now...

I can't find a link to back this up, but I understand that Diablo 2 was written in C, and not C++.

As was Quake ...I think......there's a link posted by no-one here somewhere......that showed part of the quake code....
See? C is a sea of potentiality!
Thank you!!!

I have no more doubts and much more drive. I may be an ol' dog but I'm gonna learn me some real pretty tricks!

C can do "anything" vs portability
Yes, Sayeh, perhaps you could enlighten us about how to do graphics with C, not using any imported libraries, and also not having to have more knowledge than some of us may currently have.
I mean, isn't one of the beauties of C that there's such a small "core" language and so many libraries out there?
Almost like web "middleware", but not quite...
Anyone have an apt analogy?
