What language was used to program FsP?


Re: What language - DBE - 09-08-2005

C++ as far as I know.


Re: What language - webdancer - 09-08-2005

Is that what a lot of programs are made from? I imagine games are different.


Re: What language - DBE - 09-08-2005

Actually you'll find that most programs are written in C++; and that whether they are games or not! Smile


Re: What language - nem - 09-08-2005

On Windows platforms most commercial programs you encounter (games & apps) are written in C++, yes.


Re: What language - Tepic - 09-08-2005

With the power of PC's nowdays It's a very rare application that needs the programmer to start messing with assembler.

About bloody time I say! I HATED it Hunappy


Re: What language - DanSteph - 09-08-2005

mainly C++ on some assembly for speed, FsP have 50,400 lines of Code net (without comment etc etc)
counted with comment it make 64'500.

You sir, are a braver man than me!

Last time I touched ASM, I was writing a mouse unit for DOS Turbo Pascal. Never EVER again. Smile


Re: What language - DanSteph - 09-08-2005

first time it was a demo with sound/sprite enterelly written in assembly on a PC SX25 (jurassic period) Wink
ASM is really more user friendly by those day with a nice compiler.

Notice I ranted during years against MFC (microsoft fundation class) and win32
but when I finally tried it it was really simple... perhaps you may try again a bit of ASM ? Smile

The first time was on a Acorn Electron... Ahh easy peasy. Once I got into PC's I gave up. For anything I do for myself, it's not needed.

Ha! Managed that one w/o assembler! Wink


Re: What language - Tepic - 09-08-2005

But mine was FAST! It was also tiny! I can't remember how large now, but we are talking bytes.


Re: What language - nem - 09-08-2005

Programming - the only domain where men will brag about their tools being fast and tiny.

Re: What language - DanSteph - 09-08-2005

notice my first prog was on a commodore VIC 20 with 20k memory ... (precambrian period)

Re: What language - Tepic - 09-08-2005

Cool mice was a Vic as well. I only had a 3k expansion though.. It was also all in BASIC..

I still collect Vic20 stuff now.
