Write C, get good

• lostgame 5y ago
  Honestly - a lot of the best early games were written in Assembler. C is kinda just one extra layer of abstraction. Even up through the PS1/N64 days there was still a lot of assembly stuff.

    I was gonna suggest assembly but modern instruction sets are too complicated nowadays

      It’s best if you follow examples for developing for - say - the SEGA Genesis - that’s how I got my start on Assembly. :)

  I think the get good part really takes a meaningful job (that asks for better C skills) plus a good number of years.

    You don't need a job to get good.
