coding help (new to wii programming)
January 17, 2009 08:37AM
hi everyone,
I have some programming experience, and thought about attempting to code my own wii program. However, I do not know which type of coding does the wii understand, java, C++, C, etc. Also, could you tell me any extra coding that I need to know specifically for the wii?
thanks

You need to know either C or C++ (I prefer C, but there are some good libraries out that need C++)
You may need to learn a few quirks, but nothing that can't be solved by looking at the CodeMii tutorials.

Have fun out there =)

i learned the HARD way. Use c++, dont use C. and if you can, use C++0x the moment it comes out (msvc2010 may support it)
[en.wikipedia.org] the Initializer lists, auto keyword and temp reference (&&) are insanely useful.

I code in current C++ over C because templates, template specialization are insanely useful when writing a lot of code. You have access to BOOST and most of all inheritance + operator overloading (as in operator Rect { return rect; } is useful when your class doesnt inherit a Rect. (it acts as it does).
