Title: Program Language?
Post by: Thorax on January 07, 2008, 07:20:04 AM

I want to make a game for the PSP. It's going to be a Side-Scrolling Platform Shooter with possible Ad-Hoc/Infastuctor multiplayer. So I'm wondering what langauge would be the best for this? I already know a tiny bit of Lua and my friend knows C++. Eventually, I want to be able for the game to be compatible with the computer (with joystick support). And I want the PSP and Computer versions to interact. But for now, I need to know how to make a Side-Scrolling Platform Shooter.

I would choose C++ its powerful and very easy to work with. You need to get the psp libarys tho so u can create eboots

yer you will need cygwin and toolchain which needs autoconf installed on cygwin if it already isn't. Ive nver been to good with psp writing but i am learning Lua and know some C++ from what i know C++ is slightly more versitile and could have more options for you than Lua. So i too whould say C++. Gud luck with ur program. :tup:

I have never really understood what PSP SDK is. I know it means Source Development Kit, but what is it and where do you get it. And what is the difference between it and cygwin?
