Request- Descent 1 for WinCE

[Renegade Legion]

Your right Randall, C++ isn't just for a specific processor, but what I was saying is if the original code for a game is in say PASCAL or Java then using C++ is not a possiblity for me, because I don't know those languages. It would have to be first converted to C++ before I could help in porting or debugging. So I didn't know that PocketQuake was in C++.

[Moose or Chuck]

Very good tips from a very good programmer. Use them wisely, young grasshopper.

[Warren]

Thanks. What I want to do is port games, like Descent 1 to Pocket PC, and make games for Win32 and WinCE, like Pacman, pong like games (like Batty), first person shooters, combat flight sims (maybe...), and more.

Ahh PASCAL!<br><br>I remember that!<br><br>I never did see the need in being taught that!<br><br><br><br><br>Actually, looking back on it - It does teach you to define your variables properly and all that.<br><br><br>those were the days..<br><br>Writing TSR programs to get the Administrators password for the college Network..  it brings it all back <br><br>

[Warren]

What are you talking about?

[Moose or Chuck]

He's talking about programming in PASCAL.

[Warren]

Oh, I remember something about PASCAL way way back in the day. All I knew was that it was a computer language. Moose Master, how long do you think it would take for me to learn C++ and how to port games? I don't want to rush through it at all. Thanks.

Pascal is where I dropped out of computer programming.<br><br>I started in 6th grade with apple basic, and continued on until 10th grade when they introduced Pascal.  <br><br>Man, I'd hate to think of what I could have programmed now had i stuck with programming, but sheesh, pascal was sooo horrible...<br><br>

Renegade: Sorry, I misunderstood your question about C++ and PocketPC. It would be disasterous if the PocketPC required coding in a proprietary or obscure language.

[Moose or Chuck]

Warren, it really depends on how fast you read and how well you can use what you read. It could take you a month, it could take you a couple weeks, or maybe a couple of months. It depends on how well you can apply what you read and how fast you read it.

[Dr. Phat]

Speaking of months, after 9 weeks, and one surgery, my arm is finnaly better! i am typing with two hands!

[randall]

Until you visit the porn sites

[Dr. Phat]

Damn straight randall, Damn straight! hehehehehehe but who would visit such trash?~

[Jaybot]

porn...descent...surgery  I see the corelation between these subjects.... I thought we were talking about porting descent or Windows CE programming oir something along those lines.. oh and I visit such trash, for the articles of course.

[Moose or Chuck]

Ya, that's like the puzzles in the spelling books in middle school. How aare these three words similar?<br>Porn Descent Surgery<br>All of em have R's! er.. no, E? no. All of them are about probing through cavities? That on is close enuf, let's keep talking ;D
