Anyone download the DSiWare Petit Computer? It interpets SmileBASIC (a version of BASIC) and lets you write code on a GBA level of power, the drawback is that the only way to share programs is by scanning QR codes, and my 3ds is really bad at scanning QR codes, and it makes it really hard to try other peoples programs, and I think it might be easier to write and test programs from a computer instead of a touch screen.

I'm starting to learn C++ and I thought this would be the first thing I'd work on, I have no idea where to start. I'm really fluent in SmileBASIC, I made this (not entirely, I have a lot of help) in SmileBASIC.

(skip to 0:20)


Right now in C++ I know arrays variables and a couple simple syntax. I can make a calculator in the command prompt, but that's it. Good tutorials are hard to find, I think a good place to start would be a box that I can "paint" in, like tell the program to fill a pixel, and have a "file" dropdown menu thing at the top. It doesn't have to be the most efficient thing.

Also I'm told "goto" is outdated. What do I use instead of goto???

Wow this board is outdated. o_o Posting elsewhere...
This is exactly where you should post this thread (actually NDS emulation & homebrew would be better, PM a mod for a change).

An petit interpreter would be very hard to write in libnds or PC. In fact, it would be harder than making pokemon in BASIC. The best hope is to wait for dsiware to be cracked, still a longshot.

A replacement for goto could be many things , while, do while, functions, switch case etc.
