I also assume you neglected to remember that one of the largest growing sectors in gaming is the online market (Farmville...) as well as the rapidly growing mobile market (iPhone). Additionally, most of the Microsoft provided tools for creating games use C# and the Dot Net framework.

Additionally, the engines for most games might be written in C++ but they more then often involve at least a portion written in python or lua as a scripting language.

So, yes, I am going to argue.

As for learning C++. If you know LabView and have no compelling reason for switching I would suggest staying with LabView and slowly learn C++ by taking your old robot and reprogramming it in C++ in the offseason.


But seriously I won't argue. Arguing has not brought me much good. Lets leave it at that
