Answer 1

For games, C++ is definitely the right language.

You should get familiar with the <chrono> or <ctime> headers so you can later use one of them stop letting possible lag from affecting how your game runs. If you want more information on that, research “tick and render system”. It won’t work here because of how the code is run.

For a 2D game, try learning about the SDL2 library. It provides everything you need for graphics, key input, anything you need for a game. It will also get you familiar with dynamically linked libraries.

For a 3D game, you have 2 options:

The easy way: Use a game engine. A great one for C++ is Unreal Engine.

The incredibly hard way: Use a 3D graphics library as well as some other libraries for things like key input. OpenGL, GLEW, and GLFW are a good combination.
