This is a relatively quick [C](c.md) tutorial.
You should probably how at least some basic awareness of essential programming concepts before reading this (what's a [programming language](programming_language.md), [source code](source_code.md), [command line](cli.md) etc.). If you're as far as already somewhat knowing another language, this should be pretty easy to understand.

This tutorial focuses on teaching pure C, i.e. **mostly just command line text-only programs**. There is a small bonus that shows some very basics of doing graphics programming at the end, but bear in mind it's inevitable to learn step by step, as much as you want to start programming graphical games, you first HAVE TO learn the language itself well. Don't rush it. Trust this advice, it is sincere.

- A **[programming language](programming_language.md)**, i.e. a language that lets you express [algorithms](algorithm.md).
- [Compiled](compiled.md) language (as opposed to [interpreted](interpreted.md)), i.e. you have to compile the code you write (with [compiler](compiler.md)) in order to obtain a [native](native.md) executable program (a binary file that you can run directly).
- Extremely **fast and efficient**.
- Very **widely supported and portable** to almost anything.

- **[Low level](low_level.md)**, i.e. there is relatively little [abstraction](abstraction.md) and not many comfortable built-in functionality such as [garbage collection](garbage_collection.md), you have to write many things yourself, you will deal with [pointers](pointer.md), [endianness](endianness.md) etc.
- [Imperative](imperative.md) (based on sequences of commands), without [object oriented programming](oop.md).
- Considered **hard**, but in certain ways it's simple, it lacks [bloat](bloat.md) and [bullshit](bullshit.md) of "[modern](modern.md)" languages which is an essential thing. It will take long to learn (don't worry, not nearly as long as learning a foreign language) but it's the most basic thing you should know if you want to create good software. You won't regret.
