Why are all the 10 minutes game challenges are in unity

Question

So I was watching the 10 minute game challenge and I've noticed why does everyone use unity? Like most of the developers are using c# over c++ Theses days?

Answer 1

For starters unity programming is pretty easy on the coding side for the most part when making games that are "artsy" or "quick" because it is a tool as much as it is an engine.

C++ isn't really specific to game programming because it doesn't have the libraries built in but it is faster because of this. C# on the other hand usually has everything you need to get started with game dev

Answer 2

Evan Martine I know that but I've never seen like someone build a game like falffy Bird on ue4 but they did built it on anthoer engine. Why?

Answer 3

Cout Sorry for the delayed response. There are quite a few articles on the pros and cons of c# and which game engine people use but it all boils down to having more documentation on creating games in c# than in c++.
If someone online has done it, the rest of people tend to follow the trend.

Answer 4

Evan Martine understood, thanks
