Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code this is true,but when you use x86intrin.h, immintrin.h, avxintrin.h which are for different instruction set in x86/x64 processors, in different compilers you sometimes get crashable codei have to note that compilers are not so much intelegent to generate the best codealso you cant use instruction set for arm for example in x86, they are totally (by totally i mean completely) different in terms of registers, instructions, etc URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=337494#p337494 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code hello,go here he had tested a code in different compilers and gave the asm code which was generated and compaired it togetheri dont say that compilers dont generate fast code, i say compilers generate crashable code sometimes (for example MSVC can generate a code that crashes the app while gcc not or vice versa) or a code that might act as an undefined behaiviour in a compiler or in another notthis is the case, compilers are incompatible in terms of abi and other asspects sometimes i'm not talking about optimization, also if you optimize, it can change your code somehow, but it doesnt remove the incompatibilitybtw i'm using MSVC 2015 as my compiler and GCC 7 (in windows msvc) URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=337378#p337378 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code @visualstudio, if your talking about the old compilers from like a decade ago, yeah, probably. But most of those "junk instructions," as you put it, are assembler directives or debugging information. Optimization removes most o those. Those "junk instructions" are usually also because optimization was disabled entirely and it was an error on a higher-level language.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code @visualstudio, just because different ASM instructions are different doesn't mean the compiles are totally incompatible. Yes, the ABIs are different, but considering the extremely large amount of instructions in the Intel CPUs alone (I think there's nearly 1000 of them) there's probably a massive amount of redundancy in there. You could, if you wanted to, mix and match asm code for the same architecture and OS but using two different compilers; it's just incredibly difficult to do.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code Python can also be very easily decompiled.I'm currently learning c++ in my computer science program and I'll probably stick to that. many of the speech libraries though even for c++ are windows specific or would need much rewriting to get them to work comparably to windows. These include that of tolk, universal speech, and others.I've been working on some speech related stuff for macOS, but nothing close to release yet. school is quite busy at the moment.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code I see Kotlin as a future game development language. Although it currently works on JVM, it's native compiler is in works. But for writing games like RPGs or actions I think BGT just works well, I think STW, Redspot or Manamon is a best example of what you can do with BGT. I will probably switch to C++ once I get more free time to experiment with SDL2 or DirectX. I was trying to follow tutorial for SDL2 on C++, but I got lost quite easily because I was unsure what a certain function or variable does. C++ devs really love using very short variable names, so reading C++ code written by another person is quite difficult unless it's very well commented. I'm even not so much afraid of pointers like I am afraid of complexity and frustration when e.g. sound device is not properly initialized, audio buffers are not loaded properly, program keeps crashing, etc. BGT will at least save you from a bunch of frustration, because it initializes audio devices and input devices for you, giving you more time to think about game logic.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code @Orko, there are several negatives that make PureBASIC not suitable any more (yes, it was suitable for DMNB/DMPA, but is not suitable for very advanced projects): scripting, difficult plugins, inaccessibility, and it's commercialism.Scripting: PB feels a bit like scripting: you get every single thing you could ever want, there isn't much of a challenge to implement things, and, of course, there's no object-orientation at all.Second, difficult plugins: the only way to extend the language is via either writing your plugins in assembly language or difficult-to-understand C. (The actual code isn't that difficult to understand at first, but it's not very documented, either, and you need .desc files, which I find a bit confusing.)Inaccessibility: PureBASIC is only accessible on Windows. It has no accessibility whatsoever on Mac OS or Linux, which is incredibly sad; however, it does use CEGUI, so this isn't necessarily the makers of PB's fault, but CEGUI's.Commercialism: Paying almost $105.00 for a programming language is simply outrageous. It's not even worth that much; the demo only allows you to write up to 800 lines of code and you can't load DLLs. That's all. Paying $105.00 or so just to remove those limits is completely stupid, yet you need to anyway.Also, one last thing -- unpopularity. PureBASIC seems to be extremely unpopular these days (the latest you can find are libraries from like 2008-2011, which are no longer compatible with PB). If you look up "PureBASIC" (including the quotes to filter out irrelevant results) you only get 226,000 results, but that's just searching for the language itself. The incredible difficulty comes when you run into an issue and use your search engine to attempt to find a solution (because the documentation can be extremely unclear on things). (The fact that it was translated from French might have something to do with that.) You won't find much at all in finding very many solutions, and the ones you do find are usually lucky guesses.I'm not saying PureBASIC is a bad language; I'm simply saying that if your going to start developing great things, PB might not be the wisest choice.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code Pure Basic all the way. Not only is it easy to work with, it has a lot of built in commands for sound and graphics, both 2D and 3D, and while it may not compare to C/C++ for coding power, the final executables it produces are small, fast, and compare very favorably to C/C++ compiled code.It's also cross platform in that it's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and where appropriate in both 32 and 64 bit versions.I do know C/C++ from my professional life, but given a choice, I'll always choose Pure Basic over anything else.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code @Liam, though you may dislike it (ahem...) I'd highly recommend C/C++ if you want absolute speed and best compilation. I'd recommend Rust... but it's simply too new and doesn't have the maturity that C/C++ has. There are others, of course: Go and Java come to mind. The big problem with Java though is that it's easily decompilable, which makes for really bad commercial games, especially when you implement registration systems; and the problem with Go is that... well, there aren't any good 3D audio systems, though there are good game engines (see https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go). (You might want to check out https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome for even more.) I also found this one git hub repo that created a loop of git hub repos of awesomeness, so it went awesome, then awesome-awesome, awesome-awesome-awesome... all the way to awesome-awesome-awesome-awesome-awesome-awesome.

Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code
Re: I'm Not Sure What to use to code BGT is great to start with if what you want to do is quickly create a game. BGT however will severely limit you when it comes to important things like 3d audio, cross platform support ETC. You also will not be making much of anything else in BGT besides games. To be fair, I used it at my old job if I quickly needed to create a script to handle a particular use case.I have really been trying to find an engine I can use which will quickly allow me to not only create games, but then compile across multiple platforms.A lot of people enjoy python. I do not. I have really wanted to get in to something like unity, but that brings up so many accessibility issues I don't even know where to start.I am constantly asked to bring Super Egg Hunt, and other games to multiple platforms. IOS and Mac being two major ones.You will have to decide what it is you want to do, and then go from there.

I'm Not Sure What to use to code
I'm Not Sure What to use to code Hi.Well I've been using python for a while which I am enjoying. I tried using pyaudiogame, but the last time it was updated was two years ago and I couldn't get it to work anyway. I decided to take a look at bgt. I understand basic coding concepts like if statements, variables, and things like that. I think I could make the switch to bgt pretty easily, I'm just wondering is it worth it? I like the idea of using something that is made specifically to make audiogames. I know bgt is no longer updated, so I'm just a little hesitant to start using it. I know this will get a lot of different answers, but I like hearing different opinions, it helps me think.Thanks.
