Homebrew [Question] Which programming languages are required for hb development?

[MrLucariox]

I think the title explains itself.

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

C / Objective C, C++, XML, and sometimes C# are the primary langs used in Homebrew development.

 

[MrLucariox]

Which one will be more useful? Or do i need all?

I would try to learn C first. Since that's a huge one used most often. XML is usually used for meta data; since it's easy to parse in C and C++.

EDIT:

It's usually up to you which one you wish to use. Just keep in mind C and C++ are the only two langs really used. XML and other langs are for meta data usually.

@Dr.Hacknik Much appreciated

I would check out http://www.learn-c.org/ and https://devkitpro.org/ if you want to get into C and Nintendo Homebrew Development. The latter link will give you resources and Homebrew SDK if you want to get started.

 

[MrLucariox]

Thank you so much. Can I ask you if i have more questions in the future?

Sure, I have worked with Homebrew development on the Wii for a few years. And have been hacking my Wii for far longer; I know the damn thing's in and outs lol.

I'd recommend using Make. But I m not so sure how devkitpro works in macOS.

 

[MrLucariox]

Make? Can you give a link for download cuz i couldnt find it. Sorry for my noobness

As hacknik said, you can use C or C++ for homebrew development, but you can also use lua/löve using https://github.com/TurtleP/LovePotion/releases.
If you want to setup a 3ds dev environment on macOS, you should follow https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Setting_up_Development_Environment#Unix-like_platforms
It will install everything you need

 

[MrLucariox]

@LiquidFenrir How can i set a good developing environment without Xcode? Sorry for my noobness again

 

[LiquidFenrir]

What even is Xcode? All you need is devkitarm (the 3dbrew link), and a text editor/IDE like Sublime Text to get started for 3ds homebrew
Your goal is making 3ds homebrew, right?

Apple's answer to Microsoft's Visual Studio.

Thanks for helping <3

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

Also, you can just use Visual Studio code. https://code.visualstudio.com/download
