Hello guys! I want to make games.For now simple 2D games, but I don't know from where to start. I "know" C++, but i havent worked with classes.I want to begin with game development and I searched in the internet so there are 3 librarys SDL, SFML and OpenGL.As I said i'm beginner, so my question is - which is better to begin with and why?And also what should I know to begin? Thanks :)

SFML on the other hand is Object Oriented, so you'd need to work around this if you don't want to use object orientation.

SFML has an official C binding.

SFML has an official C binding.

As SDL have several java bindings. But they are still workarounds.

The C binding of SFML is not a workaround. As per the site, it is an official binding maintained by the project founder himself, along with SFML.Net. I couldn't find any official binding for SDL.
