Is it possible to do game development for the Amiga in an emulator?
 
I'm thinking of getting AmigaForever Plus, and I was wondering if there is anything else I would have to get to get into game development, such as development ide and etc. Could someone point me in the right direction?
 
I heard about Amiga OS 4.1 and found out, that it is not possible to run OS 4.1 on UAE or WinUAE. Is there another route I could take to develop for OS 4.1?
 
I don't own a PowerPC, just an Intel PC.


1. Forget about OS4

2. You never said what language you want to use?

If you like C then I would recommend SASC since it has real working debugger that is guaranteed to work.

Since u r using WinUAE there is no need to do complicated cross-compiling.  You can write real Amiga code at super high speed in WinUAE, compile it at super high speed, run it at super high speed, play with it at super high speed and debug it at super high speed if you use SASC with WinUAE.


If you like BASIC then I recommend either AmiBlitz or PureBasic.  They are both awesome.

For a free superduper text editor we recommend Annotate.
