Why on Earth are you learning/using C? There is so much emphasis on OOP these days that you're essentially confining yourself to a very small, specialized area.

Personally, maybe 5,000 lines. I cannot remember. It utilized an OpenGL library for Java. Anything graphic intensive will require far more lines of code.

As others have stated, it is quite common to have to modify/enhance/fix systems with millions of lines of code in the industry.

1.   You probably shouldn't judge a persons complete education from a few sentences on a videogame site thread.

2.  I know both C++ and Java which are both OOP languages.

3.  C can be used as OOP.

4.  I just applied to 3 jobs last Tuesday who all use regular C to program firmware, embedded devices, or software.
