Make the move to c++ from java?
<p>Ive been learning java for maybe 5 months, and for that whole time, i mostly tried making games. I made a halfway decent game with java2D, but I want to move on to bigger and better things... 3D. I began to learn LWJGL(which is basicly OpenGL). Before I get too deep into learning java, and going 3d with it, should I move to c++? Are pointers really that essential for large programs? Can I still make anything cross platform with c++? or am I stuck with windows. If I am stuck with windows, should I just go for c#?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>When I said halfway decent, I meant that it was good, IMO. If you want to see it, to judge where i am in 2D experience, here you go:

<p>So Java is okay for game devolepment, on large scales?</p>
