Hello, I'm new to development for the wiz, and I'm pretty much a novice at using C++.

I already downloaded the wiz "unofficial" sdk from the downloads area, and am learning basic C++ programming. Where would I go to see documentation on the wiz? Are there any specific tutorials I should check out before making a game? I'm kind of lost on where to begin.

Thanks.
 
I would recommend checking out the developer-related articles on the Wiz wiki ( http://gp2xwiz.co.uk/wiki/Main_Page ).

Also, if you are using Linux then I highly recommend grabbing torpor's version of the unofficial toolchain because it includes most of the libraries you'll need (SDL, etc.): http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/48635-a-slightly-more-complete-toolchain-libs-for-linux-devs/

A lot of people have mentioned that Lazy Foo's SDL tutorials are a good general introduction to SDL-based game development: http://www.lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/

Thanks, I've already downloaded the windows unofficial sdk, so I'm good there.

Thanks for the help!
 
Good luck! I'm just getting started too, although my interest at the moment is more on the porting side of things than in new development.
