[C#] Need some help setting goals

[Bridge]

Well first of all I don't recommend C# if you are interested in video game programming as it is not typically used to write game engines at all. It is considered a high-level programming language which means your power over the hardware is more indirect. It is generally used professionally for making and maintaining complex databases, networking software and other things. C++ is the ideal game programming language as it lets you do literally everything you can think of with your hardware (provided it's possible).

Be warned though, you should approach it with a great deal of respect and patience. You can seriously screw things up if you do not learn correctly. C++ has what is called undefined behavior which means anything can happen. Your computer might blow up and it might not. Usually there's just a memory leak but it can get very serious. The causes of undefined behavior are fairly well documented though, so just watch out.

Good luck. If you need any help ask Your Computer, I'm pretty sure he knows C++. If not, I have a modest understanding of the language. I could at least show you the ropes. Hello World in C++ is incredibly simple.
