Benefits of C family

[the.future.zone]

Hello. Can C family be used for GUI applications too e.g games developments, or are they limited to just text applications? are there any real benefits to the C family languages? Plz, include any site you know that can provide more information.
Thanks.

Most games are written using the C family. You just need the graphics packages.

Yes there are. Embedded programming is hard without C.

Hi all,
Try this:

This is a game engine written in C++(a C family language).
It's really powerful among available open source game engines.

Good luck.
