I have to write Tower Defense game in ANSI C using SDL library, but the deeper I go into LazyFoo’s tutorial, the more I got this feeling that’s impossible to write it in pure C due to limitations. So my questions is – am I in big trouble or I’m just panicking. It has to be a simple tower defense game, nothing fancy, but is it possible to do it using only C?
C is a Turing-complete language so anything you can do in some other language can be done in C, too. And SDL provides you with a graphics API which is commonly used for (usually small/indie) games.
Of course it might be more pleasant to write it e.g. in C++ or a higher-level language such as C# or Python – but it’s possible in C nonetheless.
TL;DR: Yes, it is totally possible.
