C++ on Amiga

[hayashi]

Hi,

After looking into programming in E, I'm considering learning C++ with intentions of either programming games for, or porting them to, 68k Amigas. (Someone I may be working on games with is already learning C++/OpenGL, so I could possibly share non-graphical code with/bug him for help)

Does anyone know what sort of material I should be getting, in terms of software and tutorials? I know I'll need to find a C compiler, standard libraries, and the AmigaOS 3 APIs, and some tutorials both on C++ (easy to find, google would probably work for me here) and how to code for the APIs (much harder to find). I'll also need some sort of library for playing back ProTracker modules.

Thanks, Matt

@SamuraiCrow: A friend and I have had an idea for an RPG, which (if it ever moves out of planning) will likely be made first for Windows (and maybe Linux etc) using C++/OpenGL. If this happens, I really want to make an Amiga version (not a straight port, of course), and using the same language will of course help as we can trade core game code.

I was looking at trying to learn E, but now believe it's useless to spend time learning it when I could be learning a language that would both lend itself well to the above situation and be useful outside the Amiga.

NOOB QUESTION INCOMING

Does the 3.9NDK work with C++ or just C?

I use Python as my main language, so I already have some idea of the concepts behind object-oriented programming.

Sorry to gravedig, but I'm now trying to use the AHI-based ProTracker module library linked to earlier in this topic, and playback is horribly slow, freezes the program, and I haven't a clue how to properly use it. Could anyone help, please?

Thanks, Matt
