I downloaded euphoria last night, and I have no idea what to do? Has anyone even attempted this new language? Because they claim it is more powerful than c++, well frankly I have a hard time believing that, so I want to try it out.

I've used it. I think it's a nice, simple language that's pretty powerful. I usually recommend it to hobyist and beginning programmers over other languages. However, I doubt that it would beat well-coded C++ at many tasks (and definitely not well-written C).

See, i've been wanting to get a hold of a complier for c++, because if all the games you see on shelves are written in c++, then I want in on it. It looks pretty simple, but its not an oop language, which makes its game development properties less, well good. And can you even code quality 3-d games in it?

Yeah, you can do 3D games in Euphoria, I think there's actually libraries for it already. As for DLLs, maybe? Check http://www.rapideuphoria.com/

Oh yeah, it says you can make dll's, but they said it was more powerful then c++, you can never be too sure.

For tutorials and reference manuals check the documentation part of the website. The syntax is roughly equivalent to BASIC but it has some unique data types (atom, sequence, object). All-in-all it's pretty easy to learn.

You can only create DLL's when converting Euphoria to C - which isn't really the point.

Yeah, now that you mention it, it did say something like that, damnit, damnit damnit, damnit. That was one of the reasons I lokked into it, so I could make dll's for db. Oh well, tell me one thing goth, how do you start, the readme file doesnt say?

First get the interpreter installation file e4setup.exe from the website and then download Win32lib if you want to make Windows programs. Now write your program ( puts(1,"Hello, world \n") -- Hello world program) and save it as <whatever>.ex or <whatever>.exw (for windows). Now when you save the file if its icon changes to be the Euphoria logo, you're all set, just double-click on the file and it'll run. If the icon doesn't change then go into the command prompt and type ex (or exw for windows) followed by the filename. If this still doesn't work then go into the directory that Euphoria was installed to and type the command (this means that your PATH environment variable wasn't set by the installation program).

that seems complicated, all that just for it to print "hello world" to the screen?

It goes away because it runs, printing hello world, and exits because that's all it's been told to do. puts (for put string) isn't that bad compared to some languages. But puts prints ANYTHING sent to it due to Euphoria's flexibility.

Oops, forgot to tell you to put "include get.e" on top of your program (omit the quotation marks). So it should now be:

include get.e
-- Hello world program
puts(1,"Hello, world. \n")
atom i
i=wait_key()
