&gt;I would say the same for C, honestly.<p>Really? SDL is quite poor??? It has bindings in pretty much every language and I would guess is the most popular game library in existence, written in pure C. It is not a game engine but is an excellent library to build one with. It is so popular for this purpose that it has its own COLUMN in the Wikipdia table of game engines:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_game_engines" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_game_engines</a>
