MMmm, hard programming...

Posted by RyanPridgeon Jul. 4, 2008 @ 4:50 PM EDT

Hi.

I am starting to get to grips with C++, using SDL and GLUT, it's going pretty well even though its fucking hard going and unforgiving D:

So far i've made a couple ASCII games with just console apps... soon I hope i'll be able to pump out some good shit.

I don't think I'll ever call Actionscript hard again :|

On that note, is anyone good at pixel graphics? I could use an artist .... but I mean GOOD. Not just open paint and have a dabble once a year xD

Anyway see my recent post for the NG backpacking trip it's gonna be SHWEET BEEF!

-Ryan

I always wanted to look into C++, it looks painful and rewarding.
Well good luck with that, and I'm sure you'll make something worthwhile.
I find ActionScript is a bit simple in some ways, although I'm no expert or anything.

Damn right it's painful. The only "rewarding" i have yet is that I'm now much more organised with my code and make full use of OOP :P

SOON I WILL MAKE TEH BIG INDIE GAME

Do you code in as2 or 3? I find as3 is slightly harder but much more satisfying and organised.

For large projects I go for AS3, but for small things I use AS2 to save time and effort :P
