Idea Of Making Games Is As Cool As Emus...

I dunno after awhile I feel like all I'm looking at is a bunch of innitials with no referance point. DSL IDE PHP CPP C ACDC BVD LMONP... Why can't we just have good ol' basic back?

10 print "I can't program"
20 goto 10

>run

​

put a ; at the end of line 10 and see the power of the ;

10 print "I can't program";

​

lots of versions of basic don't require ;'s

*has used about 5 versions*

yes...do not forget about Zot! guys. I am working on a game in Zot! right now and also learning C. Zot is pretty simple to make a good game with, and since skeezix is getting a GP2X it will most likely be ported. If you start working on a game now, and test it with pc/mac/linux version(s) of Zot! you could have something coming along by the time it's ported.

Hey maybe Im being stupid but I cant seem to find a download link for this on google. :blink: Can you post the url thanks.

Zot!? codejedi.com

I use linux on my laptop so have just been using gnome-edit with syntax highlighting and line numbering turned on, but might look into a proper IDE?? Do many of you use an IDE?

​

When I program on Windows I use an IDE. Which one depends on what I'm programming, though. I haven't touched Windows in a looong time, though.

As for Linux, Eclipse seems to be the best all-around IDE, but be warned, it's a bit of a resource pig. It's great for Java stuff, though. Netbeans is also good for Java. But none of that really applies to the GP2X. For C/C++, I'm personally just using gcc and gedit with syntax highlighting right now. Anjuta and KDevelop are supposed to be pretty good, but I found them to be a bit of a pain in the ass to actually get shit done in. Eclipse has C/C++ plugins available (and I think Netbeans does, too) but really, I haven't found them to make me more productive for this sort of thing. If you've got a decent machine, you may as well give Eclipse + the CDT plugin a shot. You may like it, and if you don't, since you can just run the executable from your home directory it's pretty easy to get rid of.

I use anjuta as an ide under linux and while it can be a bitch to set up to use cross compilers and external libraries, after that I find it pretty easy to code and test inside anjuta
