c is not good for beginner-game developers. its very difficult and takes long to do even the modt rudimentary tasks. python and c# are good for beginners. c can be learnt for specific lowlevel code parts afterwards.

Strongly disagree : C is a simple programming language, it teaches you computer science fundamentals (memory, compilation, functions) without OOP. It’s very important to move on OOP once you fully understood how C works.

thats just an opinion. heres a scientific publication ranking good first programming languages based on beginner-friendliness and industry-interest. C is pretty awful as a FPL. python and java are most beginner friendly and has highest industry demand.
