I stand corrected. But either way, its a worthless argument.

being more simple c does actually compile faster in the real world
from what examples ive seen its like 50/50.
C doesnt offer any advantages/disadvantages over C++ with opengl, ie it doesnt work better of worse if thats what u mean.
i would say more ppl know c than c++ (most ppl that know c++ can understand c, which perhaps aint true ''andersom'' the otherway around)
for a learning text its useful to write in the most understodd language

I think it is much cleaner and simpler too.

This is opinion.

It was meant to be


Some people say that C and C++ are sam speed.
It's not correctly true. They are not comparable, I think. What makes c faster is because it's simpler language results to simples and less binary code. Of course same binary executes at same speed but with c++ you use c++ lanquage specific features that lead into bigger code. But unless your project is really big I think there's not any speed difference noticeable.

c++ is slower just look at the resulting machine code.
Don''t think otherwise.

To admin : Please close this thread to stop another C vs C++ flame war

You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.

I second that - close please!

the most used programming language in 1980s-1990s was probably C because C++ was released in 1980s, the Open Graphic Library was only released in 1992 (and was being developed a while before 1992)...

stop asking why C instead of C++? and why OGL instead of DX?, do a search on gamedev forums because it has already been asked more than a thousand times.

this thread should be closed.

The Question is...why NOT C?

If you code in C, then every C programmer as well as C++ programmer will be able to understand.

If you code in C++, only C++ programmers will understand.

It''s pretty clear. And UNIX plays a big role too as stated above.

there''s loads of C++ programmers who don''t understand a word of C. everybody should begin with C through IMO.

c and c++ are different things, wich can work together but they don''t need to. both are fast, both are easy, but one fits bether to a specific solution. platform independend stuff should be c, because a c-compiler is normally first on a platform.

close the thread, the question is answered yet.
