Petite Computer 3DS

I'm definitely more interested in this application now, since it's coming to the 3DS eShop. The application, sprite work and everything else will be in the correct resolution for programming on the 3DS. I'm hoping the file size limit for programs will be greatly increased in this version, to prevent long strings of QR codes. I'm also hoping this version will possess enhanced performance over the DSiWare version. I've actually been thinking about going to school for coding, but I'd like to see if it clicks with my brain first. If anyone from WiiWareWave would like try to create a game together, I'd be willing to give it a shot. Or maybe just help each other code our own game's together, that would be cool too.

I may get this, but I skipped the original because I didn't know the BASICS

I don't know anything about videogame coding either. But if you're to ever accomplish anything, you have to begin somewhere.

I've been programming in BASIC for many years now; I first heard about Petite Computer on the 3DS about a month ago and if I owned a 3DS I'd definitely get it. Some people may complain that Petite Computer is a bit simplistic but I've used BASIC on a Casio Calculator before and that was quite simple but a whole lot of fun.

Is there any way to send your created games to friends?

Yes, through QR codes.

visicalc, could you please post some of the very basics of BASIC coding, so we can use it as reference material? I would really appreciate the insight.

Well the best place to start is by looking at the Wikipedia article on the BASIC Programming Language here. I should warn you that although most BASIC dialects share a lot of common commands, the commands they use for graphics, sound and music all differ.

You could also try downloading the Basic4GL language for your PC from here, I'm a moderator on the Basic4GL forum so if you encounter any problems I should be able to answer them.

I've also got a Wikispace here, where amongst other things you can find a lot of programs that I've written over the years.

Thanks visicalc. I'll be sure to contact you on the forums, if I run into any complications.
