Hi fellow Pandorians
Now that the units have started shipping again, my passion for making games for the Pandy has been re-ignited B)
This was my main reason for ordering - but the shenagins of the last couple of years have dimmed the enthusiasm somewhat.
I have no Linux/C/SDL experience - but I do code at work on mainframes (COBOL/DB2 and ASM/VSAM). The last time I fiddled with games creation was probably 8 years ago in Blitz Basic on the PC (and the Amiga before that).
My plan is to learn to dev in an appropriate Linux/Pandora-friendly language using my Books 24X7 subscription. Although TBH Linux and Dev toolchains scare the bejesus out of me :blink:
Just wondered if anyone here had any plans to Dev on the Pandora, and what language/environment you were planning to use.
And are you coding for the first time, or do you have coding experience from any of the classic computers of the past.
A pre-built self-contained Windows dev environment that could be used to build games directly for the Pandora would be absolutely perfect for me - but I'm guessing that something like this may never exist
