GP2X Programming For Gp2x Or Wiz

[Larken]

I'm not sure that this is the right area, but I am trying to take an interest in programming for these devices. I'm a total newb, and haven't programmed anything since qbasic in DOS. I've picked up a C++ for Dummies book to get me started. I wasn't sure if this was the way to go since I am interested in programming for a Linux device, or if I am going to be steered to do things a Microsoft way. If you think I should start with a different resource, please give me some direction. Thanks.

If youre using Windows NT/2000/XP:
GP2X Ide for Beginners [Simple Dev Studio] -> http://www.openpandora.pl/downloads/develo..._07b_withSDK.7z

In Simple dev studio [ gp2x icon on the left ] hide 3 links to online tutorials with C/C++/SDL for GP2X deving

Hope this help a little.

If you did qbasic, why not try GLBasic?

Honestly, I don't know enough about programming to comment intelligently. In that day, I would make a small program to meet my need. They would not be "executable" in the standard sense. You would go into qbasic and run it. My understanding was that most folks program for the GP2X in C++. As for GLBasic, I'm presuming that is a BASIC type language for OpenGL?

GlBasic is a commercial whacky SDK with poor quality.

For deving for GP2X I recommend
http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,2660

It has inbuild C tutorials as well as SDL examples(me learnt C that way ). There is evrything that is needed to develop win32/gp2x apps(it have that template).
