[Dev-C++] (OT) Which one to choose?

[iad929 <ia...@jo...>]

I am going to develop a large-scale application. This application is a game
authoring tools that differs completely from all other similar packages.

You know such a tool requires a sophisticated programming language. There're
three options:
1. To create a new language.
2. To use an existing language and add functions and classes to support the
tool features.
3. To consider an existing langugae as a base and modify it to suit the
needs of such a tool.

If you were me, which one you choose?

I unknow how difficult is your objective and the glory or money
you hope to reach for your work, but at a first sight,
a man of the street would answer your question as following:

(1) if you want to reinvent the wheel --> take option 1.

(2) if you want to climb some mountain of Himalaya --> take option 3.

(3) if you are a practical man --> take option 2.


good luck and successful programming,
Ricardo.

If the existing programming languages cover your needs, then use one of
them.

It really depends what you're trying to do.  For example, Bioware used C
for their module toolset in Neverwinter Nights.  They just hid a lot of the
grunt work from you with structs and typedefs and encompassing functions.
Example, a "vector" is this:

typedef struct vector {
	float x;
	float y;
	float z;
};

And they have functions that convert locations to vectors, vectors to
locations and other things like that.

In any case the rule is, never reinvent existing things.

HI,

PLEASE GIVE ME A C/C++ CODES THAT I CAN USE TO
OPTIMIZE MY PROGRAMS FOR MMX ,SSE , 3D NOW OR ANY
OTHER INSTRUCTION SETS .

sorry, but the only two ways for optimizing for MMX and such are compiler
flags or assemblercoding connected to C (C++ can't support Assembler directly,
course names conventions)
