what does one Program in for the Game Boxes? Unix? C? What is the difference in programming for one over the other? I just wanna learn to program as a hobby not professionally. .. I need to start with a book or maybe a class. . . . Just would like to know where to start and where to go. Rocket River Just a guy with a computer and some spare time ------------------
First, they put you in a full body virtual reality suit. Then you run around, dancing and drawing with a virtual pencil, telling a little fairy exactly how the game should play.... then the fairy puts everything together for you... <FONT SIZE=1>I wish...</FONT> ------------------ Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Unix is considered an operating system and you don't really "program" Unix. C is a programming language as is C+ and C++. Most games are probably written in some fashion of the C programming language. ------------------
There was a C+ programming language? ------------------ My company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, then agreed to merge with another company, which also declared for Chapter 11 bankruptcy... should I be worried?
The majority of games are either programmed in C or C++. A few (particularly handheld games) are programmed in assembly language. UNIX is an environment in which you can program in, just like Windows and a number of other environments. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Cold Hard (edited May 02, 2001).]
