Program Language?
« 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

Ok, it might be a little bit before I can get the idea to you because my computer is having some problems at the moment.

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?
