Definitely agree with this. I’ve been in the game industry for 12-13 years now at both smaller places and a couple of AAA studios as a gameplay engineer and as a tools engineer on both PC and console. C knowledge and proficiency has been a 100% requirement for gameplay engineers at every place I. Game Development with C.; 2 minutes to read; In this article.

Unless you know how long the game loop will be on every computer, making your sleep a constant is generally bad practice. If you know that you want 2fps, a good way to keep it in line is get the time at the start of the game loop, then at the end, find out the difference, and use that to calculate the amount of time needed to sleep to keep the step the same. E.g, If the loop takes 0.1s,.

However take mind that not all the infos you will find in the net are correct. There are a lot of people that 'speak as faction' (both C and C++ supporters).
The truth is that C and C++ have advantages and disadvantages each.
For example it is not true that C is faster than C++.... it depends of type of code and the type of task. Some (critical and objective) experiments demonstrated that, for the same application with an efficient code, there are cases where C application is faster than the C++ one, but also there other situations where the C++ application is instead fastr than C.
So... the fact the C is faster is a sort of 'Urban Legend', becouse it can be true, but it is not necessary true.
If you said 'I am planning to make a new OS or rewrite some linux component' I would say 'use C: defenitly better in your situation'.... This also becouse C++ is more 'dependant' by the compiler..... So generated binary on C++ often can vary from compiler to compiler (so, if you make a library in C++ you should need to recompile it by your own before using it with your 'system compiler'.... to be more sure that it will work in your system without problems) while C code can be used without any problem even if it was compiled with a different compiler (for example if the library was compiled with gcc 3.x and you link on a program compiled in gcc 4.x you should have no problem...... if the library was in c++, instead, it could not work and you could be forced to recompile it with gcc 4.x)
But if you plan to make a game, the situation is different.
C++ offers you the chance to use classes, function overloads, etc etc that can be helpful to design your game.
C is more error prone.... however some people (like you) still prefer it.
Well... I think that the only important thing to consider if it is better C or C++..... is to use the language you are more confortable with, imho.
So if you fell more confortable with C it is nice to choose C
(PS I am not a so good programmer.... But I am more or less 'unable' to use 'pure' C... I find C++ a bit simplier)
