Fastest results will be reached with Fenix and GLBasic...
Many (all?) Games by Ruckage are programmed in Fenix and they are very professional.
I programmed Tetwiz with GLBasic :lol: ...http://www.glbasic.com

C++ is very hard to learn if you have never programmed before. But if you are willing you could give it a try, too.
Try google, there are a lot of sites concerning this language...

I thought it was already released, GPH style. "Here's SDL and GCC, see ya".

What the book hint was supposed to suggest is:
You cannot develop games from scratch. You need to learn how to code first. The Basics. You will need to create all kind of useless crap to learn your language of choice, and once you are familar with it, you may create your first game. And that first game will be no 3D game or anything, most likely a Tetris game. I'd suggest you go with some Basic dialect if you are new to programming and aim to have your first Tetris clone done in 6-12 months depending on the amount of time you are willing to invest.

Actually they havnt officially provided either. GCC is either the old gp2x version or the new one based on an Orkie crosstool script. SDL was developed by Puck for GPH, but they only leaked the source to some people. Of course the binaries are in the firmwares. Since most of us are linking dynamically we only needed the binaries on the hardware when it was running.
