I don't really know any either, but I've been learning a bit of SH4 for Dreamcast.

Gyro, you would seriously go through hell rewriting my OO in C. And you wouldn't see ANY difference in performance. I bet money on it. Not only that, but the equivilent code would be 80 time as long. I bet money on my bet!

So... did anybody ever give Code Blocks a run? It's quite enjoyable.

It froze too much for me.

Why didn't I notice this post?

Nice, now pay me. Guess what. The particle engine is living proof of how much better C is than C++ on a Dreamcast. It was originally written and running with C++.

So? What does a dinky particle engine have anything to do with complex OO with crap loads of inheritance huha (whatever you call that other stuff too) everywhere? Yeah, a particle engine isn't much more than running through a simple list. If your whole argument is going to be based on "memory allocation" then don't bother. The code won't be allocating 1238120983 different things a frame.

Hmm, well Code Blocks has yet to freeze on me. Of course, I'm running trusty'ole Win98.

C is a lower level. I'm sorry, but a higher level isn't going to beat code that has been optimized with a lower level language.

I'm sorry too, because I said:

Keyword see. I'm sure pure C would physically be faster. Just not enough to actually be seen or noticed.

Score one for the Mac'Ron man.

Yeah, I am retarded. That'll make you feel loads better about not earning code as effects why you could.

Yeah... okay.....

Jesus has your IP Gyro.... So Arce? (sounded like Marx though)

No. Marx can't capitalize or punctuate.
