Need some help getting into coding on amiga...

[brianb]

For some strange reason I'd like to program some new stuff (games) for my Amiga 1200.   I'm running into some issues on picking the best development tools...  

Any suggestions?   I tried Blitz2 and Amiblitz they worked ok, but seemed to crash a lot.   I was initially shooting for doing the development on the actual hardware (or UAE), but is it better to go with something like AmiDevCpp?   Next thing I was going to check out was some of the native C/C++ compilers.

And this may be a long shot, but is there anything with an active user community and code samples?

Thanks

I ended up using AmiDevCpp, and that worked pretty well.  I'd compile on my XP/Cygwin box, and tested with my A1200 UAE "box".  Made a couple little things, but then ran out of ideas.   So much has already been done.   I also grew frustrated at the lack of active GUI toolkits that would allow for rapid application design.  Designing the GUI from code, brought back too many painful memories.  Thanks all for the comments I found them very helpful.
