Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 It could not be made with any form of Basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish megamad Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 but with c\c++? is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 If you have to ask, the answer is no. Look around www.spidweb.com and you'll find a lot of writings by Jeff, which include this information, among other things. I don't remember if he used C or C++ for Exile. My guess would be C for Exile and C++ for Avernum.

Articulate Vlish megamad Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 By saying the answer is no, you mean to say that C\C++ aren't powerfull enough for a game like Exile? I don't have any plans for programming a game, I was just asking out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I meant that you shouldn't try to write a game like this if you don't even know which language to use. If you are just wondering what Jeff used to make Exile games, it's either C or C++. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 He said C++, but that was several years ago. He could conceivably have switched to another language. —Alorael, who doubts that he did. He would be unsurprised if Jeff were using the same old Metrowerks CodeWarrior to produce the games, too.

Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I though Jeff was much more learned in C rather than C++, especially for Exile, but he could have expanded out a little for Avernum. With more and more features in each of his games, the power of the programming lanugage needs to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
