Never felt so relieved, In my school we're gonna learn C++ and I really wanted to make a small game since there's really no better way to make interactive animations

When I was in 7th grade my parents forced me to go to computer classes to learn c and c++, never thought that would come in handy now.

You gave me a great laugh this morning thank you!

when you first ended the video (the fake ending) I gave you a like and played along pretending to close the tap :P

[richhudson]

You earned my like in first 20 seconds 😂

Imma have to take the opposite side on the whole “Don’t learn C++ if you’re a beginner” statement. It was the first language taught at my university and I don’t feel it’a any much more difficult than say Java which is a lot of peoples first. You can do it if you take the time and effort!

Would be a cool video to make explaining the differences on the difference types of game engines out in the market. For example, Unity is great for C# users versus Godot with C# is good but isn't at the same level for implementation your logic when creating games. Your better off with GdScript. Would this be a true statement? This is one example for a video which you asked as a recommendation for future video's. Thank-You....

I was trying to pick a code to start learning as my first and this looks great il be trying ou C#

[samarth]

Should I first learn C and than C++?

I know Python .

[zoroloyal]

i am 14 and never learnt coding before and starting with C++ this is because i am using unreal and mostly because if i use of language i get so bored quickly but C++ like is different and makes me more focused in game dev and learning coding and with your words saying that beginners should not start with C++ is scaring me

[wondersports]

Bro can you tell whats language is best for Mobile game development...???

[pixies]

ive learnt both c# and c++ at uni. i focused on c# for my assignments as it got on well with it and wanted good marks but now i have less experience with c++. think i need to make something with c++ for my portfolio

If you wanted to make the most efficient game would you want to start with easier code that compiles reasonably efficiently(level 3, c script) and shift some of the code to a more harder code that compiles better(level 2 c) and then shift some of that code over to (level 1 ASM). Imagine you write your game this way and can integrate with application HTML5 and web code. Imagine you compile your code to a PortableASM intermediary and some native code for some different system setups which compiles to a full native code base without any virtual machines only sand boxing of the native code.
Would you not with this be able to code more easily a game that can run well on many platforms and then tweak and optimize it more later on so it runs and plays very well.

Thank you!!! So much knowledge for my future!
