I'm guessing this has been asked a few times, but what advantage is there to using C++ over C, and vice versa.
#7593 - Wildginger - Fri Jun 20, 2003 1:25 pm
Im pretty much a beginner, but have managed to get a game up and running.
I "was" using C, but seeing as I know more about C++, I decided to rewrite it in C++. Everything is fine, and I havent experienced any problems as of yet, or any performance issues.
I would also be interested to know any pros and cons of each though, in case Im about to run into problems the more advanced my game gets.

Generally speaking, use what you are best at. I think that C++ is evil and only use C, but if you can't do much in C, why bother with it?

Exactly my thoughts,
When Im coding, I *think* in C++, therefore it was an easy choice to rewrite in C++, instead of writing C poorly. If you're a C coder, then you're not going to go the C++ route.
So is there no known issues with using C++ over C?

I am not a pro, so can't awnser this question completely,
but i thought that c++ is an extension of c, more complex
strcuters and/or methods are possible.

It's in the "C and C++" section of the FAQ
