I know it ain't much better to say this but as I am a truthful person as well...


Has anyone realised that when threads go slightly bad it is mostly because everyone jumps on the occasion of spitting an easy pot-shot...

Taking a step back in those cases doesn't prove your wrong or don't know better,it's proves you have enough maturity to let it all be and move on.

Just a thought

Well, the question (on a more or less public board) was "How to setup in company?"; a counter question was "Why would you want to do that?", and the answer was "Wanna develop for nFinity(!) and Gamecube". I think it's ok to point out that there's something (or a lot) wrong with this concept.

Yes but so many people,as little experienced in programming as it gets,have jumped on the guy because he ignored something that they don't necessarily know themselves...Just hoping on an easy flame wagon.

If the guy can't understand what's explained to him it is no reason to get aggressive...I know for a fact because I tend to be like that myself and I know when I'm wrong.

LMAO I just realized how ironically phrased that was.

Hope you get what I mean anyways.

well I actually KNOW a guy on my msn list who programs for the GC and GBA(dont know if he still does) and not only know C++ but even he says its hard, and he is in university right now. Face it man, what u are saying is just crazy and impossible. GC programming isnt like for pc, hell I dont even know wat the GC runs on (i know it runs on a ATI video card, but wat?) so for know while u are still young practise with DBP and try learning C++ and after u complete highschool only can you even CONSIDER doing this.
And after that I still recommend u tak a degree it colledge Thats what I am doing!

Woah woah.. that comment bette rnot be about me. Cause you better do some research on me before you say that about me. i may only be 16.. but i have learned alot since i have started programming in assembly(that was 7-8 years ago) Although i'm not saying i'm the best programmer.. i have just been around the block..from pascal to html to C.. i've been there.

Working on 4 projects 2 RPG(programming texturing and 3d map), 1 3rd person shooter (Programming), and a special project.

oh and megaton.. suggest c++ before basic.. it'll make basic all that easier. Because i know a few people who went basic to C.. and it was just a pain for them.. making the whole transition and all.

hmm, yes there might be people who just want to jump on the flame wagon.
But if even one of his team members (I assume yellow is a team member?) has serious doubts... should make him think.

If the hat doesn't fit,don't wear it.I'm talking of a phenomenon much more than an individual in particular.

Most programmers I know that actually studied it at school,learned C++ right away,no basic course...Except for VB.

sigh...I think this is another one of them fake things where people exagerate something a TON. His father probably told him a friend who works at Nintendo said something like that - (Most likely as a joke / incouragment).....and that got to his head

Probably one of two things

A) wants an ego boost
B) imagination got carried away

B is a simple mistake, we've all had own illutions of grandur when we had our copy of DB for the first time, but mistaking that it can become reality with little or no effort is the trouble. When it comes down to the flame wagon, I don't jump on unless I feel something should be said that hasn't yet, or if I am personally insulted by the original comment (kinda hard, I'm pretty mellow).

hell I dont even know wat the GC runs on

I've got an idea. There'll be be function probably(ie. you can't write loadobject["obj"] you'll have to load everything directyly into memory.

You can't put a file alongside with your game (on the GBA, you had to get aspecial program that writes out the code to fill an array with your image, then you have to fill the screen array with this image).

It'll be very hard. And very tedious.

Here's a short example program that draws a picture to the screen. Inside ppic.h is a big c eqivalent on data definitions ["data 1,1,1 etc].

This is modified from an exmaple preogram from a web site I can't remember:

The GameCube was created with programers in mind, thus is is far more easy than coding a PS2 game. Nintendo wanted to earn back more 3rd part support sio it made sure that coding was user friendly.

Nintendo did do a pretty big leap from the n64 to GC. Although, they aren't quite there as I feel the PS2 has more of the market still.

Nintendo has much better games though, too bad I don't have a GC

Apparently, developers are much happier with GC discs than xbobx or ps2's because they are so hard to pirate - the XB and PS2 just slumped for DVDs, while the GC uses a propriatery (sp?) media.

doesn't the gc use a mini disc? then again i don't know since i donnt have a gc (and i guess licensing from sony would be a pain). i guess they use something similar.

We're all coming from different views. Please don't post on this topic anymore, and let it die. I have my own reasons for this, not because I've said anything wrong, or that I just think it's a stupid topic. It's just a topic that just never needs to be.
