Just a slight Cpp Question

How different is it coding for the Wii... if your coding experience (C++) is in Windows.... does it get harder..?

I know the libraries are different.. but other than that..

None. The C++ language is the same, there's no syntax differences.

Devil's advocate:

int x = 0xed;
char y = *((char *) &x);
printf("%hhx\n", y);

Uhh....

xyzzy:~ $ gcc -arch i386 -o test test.c

xyzzy:~ $ gcc -arch ppc -o test test.c

Endian difference, not language difference?

I stand corrected. :-)

Not really that much different. I'd say my main skills are windows api programming. I made a game sometime back for Windows that I'm porting to the Wii. Well it should now work on Win,Linux and Wii (maybe Mac). I just had to port the graphics part as I used Windows GDI to SDL. I found that the SDL libs for Wii are vastly outdated but still usable with a few work-a-rounds.

If your a decent Windows programmer then it should be no problem working with the Wii libs. One of my weak areas is make files so if you don't understand these just copy one of the example projects that comes with devkit and edit it.

OK>... THANKS TO ALL OF YOU
