Re: Learning C with the Amiga

The last thing I programmed was a stupid DOS "Hello world" type thing in Turbo Pascal on PCTask 3.

I'd like to learn C for the Amiga too but this thread is not doing beginners any good.

Maybe I should RTFM.

:-D

EDIT:

· Why does your Mazda link take me to a mammogram page? :inquisitive:

Answers on a postcard!

ethierbach: Ahhh, now that's more like it. C for the mentally challenged!

:-D

I wonder what happened to Amiga-E, there was an article on it in Amiga Format once and Iconian was alledgedly programmed in E.

To be able to code Workbench apps like this would be really cool but they'd have to be super lean.

I long for the day when I can code in Assembly too; those apps/games always seem so damn fast.

EDIT:
I suppose GoldEd would be good for writing code on Amiga because it allows you to change the colours of the text. You'd be able to save work and have a mate highlight in red the crap that needs refining...

;-)

Make me a curry too before I starve in this wilderness of boring conversation.

Maybe this thread is popular because it features people arguing, put downs, egos, women, curry and mammogram links.

Or it could be the fascinating syntax indentation...

Yeah, let's forget about C and have a FIGHT!

Visual Basic is a bit like programming IKEA style. Java is just rancid, the resulting programs are horribly slow and unresponsive.

Personally I think cross-platform compatibility is the bane of the modern computing world. Everyone and everything should be focused on one platform - maybe solely Assembly. That way effiency is guaranteed.

I have found the perfect language for mel_zoom though:
