Is C++ used to make video games? What types of video games can i make with c++ if yes.

i want to learn how to program video games. i know its a hard task to do and might take days or months. I just want to stay in the right direction so im asking what could be used.

C++ is what you want. all the major studios use it. Check unreal engine. it is free and uses c++

there are a lot of game engines with c++, SDL is a graphic library you can try to learn about and then make your own game engine with it. you can see complete tutorials about SDL here: http://lazyfoo.net

Imo you shouldnt use Unreal unless you want to make profit of its shaders and some other graphics related things. Also the engine is massive and maybe a little overwhelming if you just get started with games. If you just want to try things out and create a simple game, go for SDL really. If you create your own engine you will understand step by step what it takes to create a game.
