Why is C a real pain? There are tutorials for
game playing programs in C and even using C in
a DirectX shell for games.

So you use NASM and haven't used Windows I assume
this means you have only used DOS?
This is the position I am in and over the last
three weeks have delved into the possibility of
writing Win32 assembler programs.
To what extent you need all that Window stuff
depends on the kind of game you want to write.
