Homebrew What code is 3DS Homebrew written in? C, C++, C+, C# ?

[petethepug]

Meh, I prefer writing in F--. It helps me concentrate all of my frustration into making amazing games and homebrew and such.

F is a programing language?

 

[Deleted User]

Both C# and C++ are easier than C.

Can confirm. I'm like a dog stuck in a paper bag for anything other than C#

Wait, no one here using Command Prompt for programming?

Oh yeah! I'm currently using it to code my PS3 emulator for my O3DS XL.

Well I use F++ its a lot easier to use. It takes just a few days to learn. It very intuitive and is going to change how coders code codes.

OH! I've heard of that! That's the thing that Albert Einstein's brother, Steve is working on. He's old, but he's smart!

"I really appreciate the F software. Usually if I can get my programs to compile under F, they simply work. Maybe F causes me to spend more time analyzing my code, or forces a sharper perspective, but it sure adds discipline to my programs. Thanks!''

F is the way of the future. You can't spell Future without F.

Very true. And everyone who says otherwise can go F themselves.

Thats so F'n right.

You can't spell Fuck either without F. And F programming is going to Fuck every other programming language out there.

Except C, someone might as well make a langlauge around F & C and call it, erm, FUC? Every other language would become obsolete

the programming language is not that important, what's really important is the compiler to generate the ASM binary code to work on ARM CPU that the 3DS is using.
to understand a code, you need to convert it to the CPU's own language.

As the most common language is C and C++, existing compilers (converter from human readable code to machine language code) are mostly based on C/C++
this is the one provided in devkitpro's SDK.

But it's not necessarily the only input language you can use.
Python, Java or Lua could be used too, as long as you have a converter to ARM formatted code for the 3DS.


Some 3DS homebrew are written in Lua.
no, there's no java or python, or even C# compiler for 3DS, it was just an example
or maybe there is but there's no written library for 3DS, nobody did it.
edit: or there is the reverse : running python on a 3DS's python interpreter (not a compiler)

No. Because you can't.

I'm very comfortable in C#, I even wrote a Gen 3 pokemon save editor way back.
