I keep seeing posts for using Love2D, why not learn C++ and use SFML?

I use Love2D but I also use C++ AND some random libraries :o

Does this mean I win?

It depends.

For me, I just don't have the initiative to go and learn another language, nor the wanting. I learned Lua years ago just so I could make tickets...hehe. But now, I'm not too interested in actually programming.

It's all in what people really want to do. Some people just don't want to learn another. It's quite fine :)

@Must: Currently we're trying to make a Chat thing (like steam).
We also tried a zombie game but it failed qq

Oyus, TCP vs. UDP vs. Raw sockets! :D

@must

Why C++? Why not C?! >:O
(It's funny because originally I wanted to learn C++, then I gradually shifted to Lua... lol)

As fun as it must be to write games in C, I like having classes :<

If a game would be writen in C that is normaly in C++ - how would the performance be?

Using C cuts down on some of the executable bloat, but adds additional boilerplate code. :/

(I'm just guessing here...)

It'd probably be about the same performance, compilers are amazing at optimization.

Since C has two less letters in the name, it makes smaller programs.

IKR? But then came Windows, and compiler embedded safety checks. >:|

C only uses primitives, pointers, and structures.

Have you any idea how much care goes into making a class, assembly wise?! >:L

I've never thought about it before.
But I just realized, it must be huge.
