Although C++ is a high-level language it stands quite close to the metal. It lacks some high-end features found in languages like Python but this makes its core simpler. As a result, it generates very fast code making ideal for computationally intensive applications, like Physics simulations and Games.

C++ is one of the most popular languages in the world. It is used by million developers worldwide. It has extensive support by third party libraries, used in Physics simulations ang Games. Libraries like Physics engines and OpenGL.

A pretty picture is the first impression we have from a game. This is achieved with two key elements. A good graphics design team and a good programming team that can convert the good ideas into great looking renderings on the screen.

Graphics programming is a critical part of game development. Generating the image especially in 3D is very time and energy consuming. So learning the tricks of the trade from those who went the distance before you is a key to success.
