GP2X Want To Start Developing For The Gp2X Wiz

[hyper]

I've had my wiz since christmas and it's a great device, I love all the Homebrew and Emulators that run on it, and I hold the developers in high regards, thanks guys . So I want to start making games.

Now, I have VERY little experience coding but I have some (more along the lines of scripting) however I understand how lots of things work, variable .etc I know I'll have to start small, asteroids clone or the like. But I need some help as to where to begin. I use windows so no linux stuff if you please . I've been looking into GLBasic and that might be a good place to start.

You may want to check out Fenix
If you go C/C++ then use SDL and work through Lazy Foo Tutorials (thats what I did)

I downloaded Dev C++ and tried to follow Lazy Foo's Tutorial but it's all a bit overwhelming, I'll probably check out fenix tommorow. Thanks for the help, Glbasic looks promising though especially with the Wiz compiler built it.

Don't use Fenix, use Bennu instead.

Good luck, and remember don't be afraid to sink a couple of weeks into this before you'll start feeling comfortable.

I really think it would be a good idea to make a topic with wiz programming resources and pin in it the developers section.

Good luck Mike. I hope you stick with it, and dont hesitate to ask for help (or testers )

If you need assistance with GLBasic, then give me a shout.

Thanks alot for the help guys I really appreciate it! But I think I will go with GLBasic, it is very well documented and very easy to use from what I can see, reminds me of DarkBASIC (a program I have had some experience with). I think GLBasic will suit my need and I should be okay for sprites. Thanks again guys and hopefully you should see something from me soon. (but not too soon ).

Just wondering - where are these tools that you are referencing? Are they on this site? Openhandhelds?
