C is okay (get a good cross compiler like gcc or vbcc).

But don't try to create games with SDL. It will be slow as hell even on a 68060 because of damn c2p conversion. Use graphics library routines or direct hardware banging instead.

I'm currently creating a C++ game using SDL interface but amiga hardware underneath (porting a SDL game I made 9 years ago). That could be a good compromise (the game isn't working yet but it's taking shape)
