Which is easier, less time consuming, and more effective, coding a game in C++ using DirectX or coding a game in C# using Unity?
Language wars = religious wars = framework wars = platform wars. Best suggestion: Find something that works for you and start coding.
I guess I will try out learning both languages and try out coding in both languages and see which one I like more and which one works better for me.
Different languages can be less difficult, less time consuming, and more effective at reaching a goal when compared to other languages but the effectiveness of a language for you also comes down to a particular language being something you like to code in and that you find most understandable.
I believe C# is an easier language to learn than C++ so I imagine learning C# and Unity would be easier than learning C++ and DirectX.
I believe that while programming a game in C# with Unity may be easier for some people to learn and do programming a game in C++ with DirectX may give you more power than C# with Unity does so it may be the better choice for some situations.
Does anybody know if coding a 2D or 3D game in C++ with DirectX gives you more power and precision than C# with Unity? I believe both paths are two of the best and most widely used for Windows game development.
