Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Just because you're perfectly fine doesn't mean all other machines are.
So? What's that got to do with making it cross platform?
I could ask what makes food hot and you would come in here telling me your refrigerator brand uses less electricity.
I wasn't strictly talking about cross platform. I was talking about performance, which is tangential to the cross platform thing.
If you're planning on making a game cross platform, you should choose a language that performs well for gaming on all platforms. Java ain't that. Which answers your question:
C++ is better for this application.
