title: Why is c++ that powerful concerning game development?
body: <p>I was just wondering why c++ ist that powerful and performant for developing games. I wrote a lot of games in c# and delphi, always using the timer component to make objects "move". Another option for the movement were loops, but they are definitely not performant.</p>
  
  <p>So what technique does c++ use that users can develop performant games?</p>
