The Powder Toy

Java or C ?

    Hey guys!
    I just want to here your opinion when it comes to the question:
    JAVA OR C?
    I prefer Java because you can run java programms on every OS, C only on Windows (and Mac I´m not sure).

    And if anyone knows Java I´d like to show them the source of my little Powder Toy helper, wich developing thread can be found here, so they can tell me if the methods I´m using are good or totally wrong.

    Also please tell me what your favorite editor is. I love eclipse but I heard NetBeans is good ,too.

    THIS CAN BE A THREAD ABOUT NON-TPT PORGRAMMING IF YOU LIKE!

    Thanks for reading!
    Cheers, NeBuR.

    Of course, TPT runs only on Windows because it's made in C....

    :3
    Have you programmed anything in java yet or do you just like the language?

    @MasterMind555
    I´ve never said anything about TPT being programmed in C.
    And TPT runs on linux too.

    Here's some news : TPT IS programmed in C, thus I referred to

    Which is totally stupid to say.
    Do your homework first...

    @MasterMind555
    :D Thats why I have guys like you!
    I only know Java and now I can learn stuff about C! I created this thread to nerd around, but also to help guys who have questions. So I ask you:
    Does C run on Mac?
    Thanks!

    C runs on every OS but it must be compiled on that OS
    So a C program compiled on Windows won't work on Mac, but a C program compiled on Mac will work on Mac.
    Not advertising but I have a group to talk about that kind of stuff

    But on topic: All depends on the thing you want to do, Java is good for general applications ( When you have an GUI designer of course ) or 2D game for any OS, C/++ is better for high performances games or softwares and is generally coded on Windows


    Oh and I know Java, if you need help, ask me

    I'm maybe surely saying an absolute absurdity but would it be possible to convert TPT in Java ?

    I prefer java, because C has those f**king pointers.

    Also what compiler should I use for java?
