i just started C++. i got a book called Beggining C++ Game Programming by Micheal Dawson. Its very well explained so far, and the CD that comes with it is very helpful too, i recommend it.
anyway, aside from the book talk, how do you convert your C++ code into a PSP eboot? do u need a different IDE or something? If so which one?:confused:
You need a compiler. I suggest using this guide to set up a compiler on your computer to compile source codes into psp usable eboots.

Good luck!
thanks, do i need to edit any of my code for it to run on the psp, or do i just leave it as is?
http://www.psp-programming.com/tutorials/ - This may help you.
well i never really fully got into C++ coding, but yes you will have to change parts of your source code to compile it into a psp usable eboot. Changing the makefile, screen vendering (if any), memory usage ect....Quote:

i wonder if when i release my first thing, which should be in a few months (something very small) if ill be the youngest C++ coder 4 da psp...
In a nutshell, any code that is platform specific such as DirectX, needs to be rewritten to work with the system you are porting it to. For the PSP, this means rewriting the rendering code to GU.
Since the book only deals with text based code (command prompt), you may have some difficulties with input for the PSP.
I tend to use Code::Blocks IDE with the DevKitPSP compiler for PSP programming. I use the same IDE with other compilers to deal with other platforms as well.

Thats what you think ;)Quote:

To those REAL coders, ( Dont joke of this, I'm too young to even know what C/C++ is :p)
anyone can make a hello world app. how old r u??
don't be so patronising !!!Quote:

I hope you're at least 14 or 15. Learning C completely right (read: all kinds of pointers) before that is considered impossible by me :p
And at least 16 or 17 to learn C++. Boy, too much OOP in there.
Although a 12-year-old could learn assembly easily. :)
I am going to be learning C++ later this year. Although i know some of the basics already. But i am going to finish on Lua first
Dude dont be so sure im only 13 but i learn fast as heck, If it was summer and i didnt have bball practise after school, I could probly learn c++ in a monthQuote:

im 14, though i think ill be fine. im in really high classes and really good with math, so im giving it a shot. and actually, i think im just gonna work on windows apps b4 i compile something to run on the psp.
10 Print "Hello World!"
20 Input ":", response$
30 if response$ = "hello" then end
40 if response$ = "goodbye" then goto 100
50 goto 10
100 run "fcuku.bat"
funny I thumbed through "Beginning C++ Game Programming" by Micheal Dawson at Borders today. Almost picked it up but decided to order it for cheaper on amazon. My question is; If I learned to code in Lua well, would that make c or c++ easier to learn, or are they completely unrelated?
C++ is much more robust and complex than Lua.
It's like Photoshop vs Mario Paint.
^ ^
True but not everyone knows C++. But Lua is still a powerfull language
I LOVE MARIO PAINT :thumbup: lol. but yea, Lua is easier than C++. All you need to do to figure this out is code a lil in LUA then Code in C++ and u will see the differenceQuote:
