C, C#, Or C++?
Author
Which language is the most flexible for game programming? I am making a racing game, and am deciding which language to program in...
use C# if you don't care about the microsoft only thing and you really like the language.
C++ vs C ? IMO C++ is easier to learn in because of its flexibility, and can do all C can plus more. Unless you have a lot of C experience and can do anything in C, I'd pick C++.
In the end the choice is yours.
edit: oh, if you program for the ps2 then avoid C#

Well, a quick tour through the "Gems" books and most other game programming litterature would show a ton of C++. You can probably do the math from there.

if you keep with SDL, you might be able to use C# under Linux with Mono: http://www.go-mono.org

If you know all three, pull one out of a hat.
C# makes it alot easier to get to the point, which is to program your game. If you desire to use OpenGL then the Tao.OpenGL binding is also an excellent resource. Your project would also be completely portable if that matters to you.
Downside: Target PC would need to have the .NET framework installed. Not all PC''s have this, yet. It is ~25 megs large.

Just get in the middle -- C++. It''s the industry standard.
