[Tommy1998]

Hello , i am sure that many of you know games like Far Cry 4 or The Newest Assasin Creed well these games are really good and their graphic is incredible and insane , i am working in c++ but i work with CMD so that means i am not doing graphic and not even games but now im student on high school but i would like to develope games what should i do i would like to continue in c++ i believe that c++ is good language and also its used to develope games so back to my question what should i do now , all i know is classes structures work with files pointers arrays inputs outputs it means i know iostream string etc im really good experienced in CMD programs in c++ so that means non grapgic programs .... so i have heard that there is Allegro library for 2d games but this is not high level its 2d , but there is smth like OpenGL is this the highest level ? of development ? how are these new games developed ? Language / Library / Structure of programming Huge games in 2014 ? tell me more Please ty.

Probably DirectX.

Probably DirectX.

Probably custom library wrapping DirectX calls, then another library abstracting draw calls, and then maybe another one.
