Default matlab programming

Can I program a 3d fps game with matlab? It is supposed to be faster than traditional programming languages like C and C++.

It is most definitely not faster than C or C++. I can't think of a good reason to even attempt writing a 3D fps in MatLab, unless it was just a proof of concept project.

"MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables
you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran."

That means you the coder can develop them faster, not that they will run faster.

No no no!.. Matlab is definitely not what you want to use if execution speed is an issue. .. It's a very high level environment as was mentioned, and will greatly simplify the "programming" of modules that perform various mathematical tasks - not the "running" of them.
