    Well, as a curious person myself, what programming language would you use to write a game engine in, or at least a game in?

      I use Unreal Engine right now, but I’ve also used Godot and Unity in the past. I dont use Unity anymore, and probably won’t ever bcz of some shenanigans they’ve pulled in the recent past. Also used pygame, and way back before I discovered game engines I tried using OpenGL and SDL directly. (Do not recommend going that route) They are way too low level for you to make any real progress, at least in a timely manner. They are what you’d want to use if you are trying to write your own game engine, but most people aren’t trying to do that. Most people just want to make games.
