Homebrew Best ide for developing Homebrews with Ninjhax

[nastys]

I use Geany for C++ (and many more): it's so simple and fast. I haven't tried it for 3DS yet, but I think you could simply change the building options to use devkitPro instead of g++.

 

[endoverend]

So you need to import the ctrulib library to compile it? Correct me if I'm totally wrong as I'm new to coding in general. Also, can we test this with Citra or 3dmoo reliably since my Cubic Ninja isn't here yet?

endoverend you need devkitpro and ctrulib (which is included on the lastest release), and then you need to compile it with devkitpro

ctrulib is included with devkitPRO?

It isn't!

the 1.5.4 does

 

[redkeyboard]

Does it support a graphics API? OpenGL ES specifically?

Why did it not install by deafault then?

redkeyboard I remember that smea said once that he was working on something like an opengl driver for the 3ds. Nothing so far, but still you can use the gpu library, or look at Blargsnes code for some gpu instructions, also why there isn't one on the spoiler.

Spoiler

Currently, everything in hbmenu is rendered in software. The reason for that is of course that homebrew GPU support is still unstable and very much a work in progress. Eventually, one of our goals should be to make hbmenu use the GPU for rendering.

MRJPGames dunno why, when I installed mine it was on the main folder. Maybe you forgot to check some stuff when you installed it

EDIT: Welp can't remove the double spoiler. halp

The GPU API is very much bare-metal (see the documentation on 3dbrew); with ctrulib it becomes kinda similar to GL in some aspects, but there's still a lot of low level stuff going on such as memory management.
If you are going for maximum performance, you'll want to use this anyway, rather than a high-level library like OpenGL.

(note: the hardware doesn't even support all OpenGL ES 2.0 features, in particular there are no pixel shaders)

 

[MemoryController]

ctrulib is included with devkitPRO?

I have posted instructions on 3dbrew how to set up devkitpro with ctrulib and how to use netbeans with the examples on Linux.

 

[caprathebest]

MemoryController does the netbeans environment setup works also on windows, by modifying the include and the makefile?

I would assume so, I have not tested it on Windows. I'll post up a guide soon for Visual Studio.

 

[caprathebest]

MemoryController that would be awesome!

netbeans

 

[elcravo]

Vim for simpler stuff and netbeans for more complex things.

 

[NCDyson]

I would assume so, I have not tested it on Windows. I'll post up a guide soon for Visual Studio.

I more or less got it working with netbeans on windows the other day, well, expect building from netbeans gives me the error:

c:/devkitPro/devkitARM/3ds_rules:27: *** target pattern contains no '%'.  Stop.
make.exe": *** [build] Error 2

which apparently has to do with paths, but since it still compiles from the console, I work around it. Code Completion is all I really need anyways.

 

[froatsnook]

Never use vim. The text editing is so good that being forced to use anything else (even with always-shoddy vim emulation) makes me cry.

Atom

Is a free editor influenced by Sublime Text for OS X 10.8 or later, Windows 7 & 8, RedHat Linux, and Ubuntu Linux (you can probably build it for a different OS)

Sure, it does not have a one-click compile, launch in emulator and repack to 3dsx feature but since the editor is modular anyone can write a module specifically for ninjhax-compatible binary development.
