Hi can any1 point me towards an idiots guide to making their first lynx game - I wanna crack at it, as Ive been playing my Lynx more than my PS2 lately. I wanna start with a very simple (me hopes) game like break-out :!: :?: :!: cheers

There doesn't seem to be too much out there... Here's what I've found:

Bastian Schick's page (This is where you can get the dev tools for the lynx to program in Assembly and C. The C stuff is a custom version of cc65. I Personally don't like K&R syntax so I haven't used it. There is some work going on to get a lynx target in the "real" cc65 package maintained by Ullrich von Bassewitz, www.cc65.org but I have no idea when or if that will ever be released.)

Lynx programming for Dummies. This explained (at least to me) some things that I still didn't understand after reading the above pages.

Matthias Domin's page. Not a lot of information, but some tools.

cheers mate - nice 1 - my programming knowledge starts at WML & ends with xhtml. Mostly web/wap stuff - I was put off programming when I got my atari ST & there was some programme with that - if felt like you needed a degree & had to type a million characters just to make a sprite - But I am older & wiser now :twisted: - thanks again
