Great!  Start coding!


This is the same bullshyt "write and submit a patch" and "RTFM" mindset which pushes a lot of people away from F/OSS projects.

While many people have ideas not everyone is a do-er or a coder.  Responses like yours discourage people from providing ideas.

I don't know what a-pex does to support the Amiga community, but I certainly wouldn't discount his missive simply because he's not coding.

it sure looks like the amiga community don't have any 'do'ers' left anymore at least in the coding department. but one thing it sure has, is a hell of a lot of 'users' that just want and want and want... maybe it's time to get starting learning to code before it will be to late...

and before you jump on my arse i have quit the amiga long time ago. i just use it for what it is an old failed attempt of a computer, with fun old games.


You definitely put it better than the other poster.  Saying "the Amiga community has very few coders remaining and we could use some more if you have the time to learn" is a helluva lot better than simply telling someone to do it themselves, which is the inference taken from curt comments in response to better-detailed wish-lists.

Your use is irrelevant to my opinion, and my opinion is irrelevant to your use, so you'll get no arse-jumping from me.  Especially since I agree with you: It is a shame that we've lost a lot of programmers and I believe it's important that we show appreciation to those remaining not just in verbal and monetary support, but also perhaps by joining their ranks.  Personally, when I've though I have the time to jump in, life has other ideas for me.  I purchased Cubic several years back to facilitate my adventure, and it sits largely unused right now.

I am still believing, but now I also start understanding...


Agreed.  This should be a reference thread for anyone who thinks porting to Amiga can happen over night with the help of unicorn fart powered gnomes.

I see you've produced a working SDL for AGA; I may have missed it elsewhere, but is there a working SDL for RTG?
