Game engines
Hey can tell me some game engines in c++ please?
Many C++ programmers will discourage you from doing so, specially if you just want to train your creativity through game development. I believe it's fair to say C++ is a programming language which programmers use only when they don't have other choices for some reason. (Disclaimer: my day job is C++)

I recommend you to try Unity game engine on top of C#/.NET technology.

How come? I mean, C++ is used by most big games?
before i say anything ill say that you MUST learn atleast the basic c++ functionality before moving onto a game engine it will make things 100* easier and faster understanding these fundermentals that aside

the easier path for c++ is the enreal engine since this engine basicly can do most the coding for you
however if ur willing to go the long way opengl when done correctly will run anything much better then most engines can although likely take more time to create things
the other choice is usually unity which is great aside from the fact u must use C# or install a c++ dll which can be a pain at times
but all 3 of these engines/api's support multiplatform compiling to most if not all platforms and becomes a matter of personnel preference

there is however more engines which dont get me wrong are great but as a general engine with a good language u cant go wrong with any of those 3
what dev.lucifer means by that is most likely the fact c++ is a low level language so it requires more work ,where as a high level language doesnt need near as much work
