hey I wouldn't say DevC++ is outdated, you can always download it without MinGW and install the latest version of MinGW along with it. edit Also, I don't think I would recommend Visual Studio Express. Firstly, I don't think you can program regular (non console) Win32 programs with it, and for...

hey The thing with JAVA is that you must learn to program in an object oriented manner from the get go. I would imagine it would be alot easier to start by just programming basic functions and not worry about that stuff until later. cyas

hey Well firstly if you are using Windows (I'm guessing you are), and you want to write very portable code then I would recommend you use MinGW (Minimum GNU for Windows), just download the installer. If you want an IDE then I would recommend Bloodshed DevC++ (it comes with MinGW), I just use...

hey dekutree64: That's pretty much what I do in my 2D graphics/game lib, I just get hold of the pointer to the pixels of the framebuffer and blit everything myself. But yea, it's more fun if you like graphics programming, you learn more, and makes your code more portable as you could easily...

hey I actually learnt to program using Macromedia Director (Lingo) back in a Multimedia course I done, but I kinda got hooked and started programming in my spare time. Hmm, it would be better known as for making the online Shockwave programs, you can see a few Shockwave progs I've made on my...

hey I was just looking at the Pandora File Archive and found a bug, where if you click the Switch to Directory View Mode link it lists the GP2X archives, and from here if you then click the Switch to Traditional View Mode it takes ya back to the GP2X archives instead. Well I just had a look as...

hey puppydee: I tried a quick search for ya on google, I prefer to search with google rather than the forums search function as with google it lists by the thread title, rather than the posts. Hmm, well maybe this can be done on these forums, but I've never really looked into it. Anyhows I...

hey I don't plan on doing much (if not any) emulation and such either, mostly getting it cause I want to develop cool original games for it :). Anyhows I hope this catches on and we start seeing lots of cool original games, I mean it has the controls so why not use them? I see the Pandora as a...

hey Obviously I think it means they think the Wiz looks a tad better, but I don't agree, hehe. Hmm, well the last time I looked at the Wiz it did look quite stylish (alike the Gameboy Micro :P), but I prefer the Pandora. cyas

hey 1. It's made by the craig&co crew, plus community 2. It has a keyboard and nice controls 3. The most powerful portable? 4. Battery life and unbrickable (dunno about Wiz on this part) 5. No gimmic or whatever, Wii | Wiz? cyas

hey Here are the official/standard categories for .desktop, so I thinks anyhows, hehe. edit I think applications can fall into multiple categories, from those I've seen usually you have a general category and it moves onto more specific categories. This is pretty cool, for example in XFCE you...

hey Ye, I dunno if it would be such a great idea. As what happens if/when some lib breaks? then everything goes down with it. Hmm, or it becomes incompatible with the version used by the software? bye bye software. I mean, just go try use some old linux software that uses old dynamic...

hey I haven't read all the posts. Anyhows I dunno if it would be wise to purchase a spare battery, as from what I've heard batteries degrade even if ya don't use them. So the spare battery might actually be useless by the time you need to use it? Anyhows I dunno any of this for sure, so maybe...

hey Just had a quick fly through this thread. Anyhows as others have already mentioned it's pretty much the same as the .desktop files. Personally I like them, as I don't have to worry about organising my menus, as they are just automatically built using the .desktop files in XFCE :). Also...

hey I also looked to see what folks from other websites and such had to say about the pandora a lil while back. Anyhows I also don't understand why some folks don't like the look of the pandora, I thought it looked great the first time I saw it :). Anyhows looking back in time, who remembers...

hey How about a picture of a pandora, and then another pandora appears on the screen of that pandora, then another and so on, hehe. Anyhows nm. cyas

hey Ya might also wanna checkout http://www.nonoche.com/imaging/en/index.html. Hmm, also when it comes to making the levels you could either make ya own little tilemap editor, or you could make an image converter where it searches for all unique tiles and builds map with indices to each tile...

hey Actually the easy part would be sending/receiving controller input, I think the hard part would be keeping in sync, hehe. Hmm, well I don't think it would be that hard to keep in sync, the hard part would be keeping them in sync and still be fast without any lag. I mean, providing...

hey Actually I think they should be cautious. Anyhows I agree with what was said earlier, lookout for alternative options. Ask friends or family members if they have a credit card you can use and pay them back. Also, I'd probably advise to be careful about withdrawing ya paypal funds for now...

hey I would have to recommend SDL_mixer, although I haven't done too much with it, nor have I tried anything else. Anyhows you can easily play common sound and music formats with it, see http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/. I'm actually looking forward to when there is a linux port of...
