Always wondered, its one of those type of questions that are really useless and don't even matter but not knowing still comes to haunt you..
Well I was wondering what the difference was between C, C# and C++ Coding.
Are there Disadvantages or any advantages between these?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Quick Noobish Question.
Hi Jimlarc,
Well I can tell you that C# is a managed language. It doesn't let you do so many stupid things wheras C++ is unmanaged and lets you do anything, even disasterous things. However C++ is faster than C#.
More and more now C# is being used to program 3D games engines, but mostly the game engines themselves are written in C++.
C is the grand daddy of C++. Think of C++ as C with bells on.
I am sure Chilli could give you a better explanation.

Re: Quick Noobish Question.
Going along with what Asimov said, I find C# to be better for making an actual "useful" application with the .NET framework. You can do it with C++ too I think, but it isn't as easy to do. Also the syntax is different (if you couldn't already guess that).
MOOOOOO

Hi codinitup,
I think if you are making a massive game then use .net framework, but if you are doing a 30k arcade game people will not want to download 200mb of .net framework to play your game. I rather not use a huge framework like that for a simple game. Chillie's framework is good enough.

Re: Quick Noobish Question.
I think that there's some confusion here, I don't use the .net for games, mostly because I don't like the framework that much. I use it for more like creating a web browser or something like that. Chili's framework is pretty great though
MOOOOOO
