Hi Richard,
One of the major reasons your class is being done in C++ is that is the
universal game programming standard. Weather you are talking Microsoft
Game Studios, Activision, Nintendo, Sega, etc they use C++ in there game
engines. In the blind comunity many are amature programmers that just do
it in a language they know like Visual Basic for example. It would be
doubtful you will hear about any other language other than C++ in a game
programming class although there are books out there for C# .NET and
Visual Basic languages on game programming.
When starting out my first choice was to go for a C++ type engine.
However, I was learning the .NET sweit of languages at the time, and
discovered I liked them so just ended up writing my engines in C# .NET
instead.
