Can I use AppGameKit IDE to write C++ program? I like both C++ and broadcast mode.

I think you will find that you can not use the AppGameKit IDE as it is for Basic not C++.

I see.

Halley, what you can do is download Code::blocks which is a c++ ide and is what the AppGameKit BASIC IDE is based on. In fact I believe TGC customized Code::blocks to make the AppGameKit BASIC IDE.

^Although it still wouldn't work for broadcast mode

True that. I think the broadcasting feature is quite exclusive to TGC I haven't heard of it otherwise...well atleast over multiple OSs anyway .

The IDE is based on code::blocks, you can assign a different compiler or you can install code::blocks itself with the default C++ compiler, it will also compile using Visual Studio 2008/ 2010

However the AppGameKit IDE while based on code::blocks is designed for tier 1 basic commands, you'd likely have to modify it to get it working with C++.

It's easier just to grab a copy of code::blocks from http://www.codeblocks.org/

If you are looking to work directly with iOS or Bada development then it's best to work with xcode and Visual Studio C++

However broadcast mode only works with Tier 1, as working directly with SDK's allows you to install the software directly to the device you are working with.

As a result I'd recommend working in Tier 1 for the prototype, then migrating to Tier 2 specific platform technologies once you have a working prototype, that way you can work on optimizing the program for that specific platform which is the purpose of tier 2.

I take it there is no automated way to port between the Basic of Tier 1 and C++ of Tier 2. Only rewriting the code.

It would be possible to make a program that read in AppGameKit basic and output C++ code. I think TGC has talked about the possibility of more tools down the road so that may be something they could consider.

ive read on the forums somewhere that the TGC team are in fact going to make a compiler for Teir1 to teir 2 C++
