What if I want to make an RPG game with a text dialog that you can scroll down? And according to my research, 50% of mobile games are made with Unity? Maybe some for the engine, some for pure coding? Maybe that's their trick?

SDL? I think you are talking about C? I think that's so low level? Haven't you considered trying C++ instead?

    SDL is written in C, but bindings are available for multiple languages, including C++ and C#. As it happens I was actually using it with C++. And there are other libraries you could use instead, like GLFW or Allegro.

    I've never thought of C as being that much lower-level than C++, but I guess everything's relative.
