RealBot source code at Github!

Hi Storm - Java code is pretty similar to C#, which is pretty similar to C++...Or so I hear, have a friend studying Java at university and his simple programs are very similar in design to my simple C# ones.

Oh - and This is my first post on these forums by the way - I am interested in becoming involved in RealBot coding, although I am a bit of a noob at programming - I have some basic experience in C#, but want a project to get myself better at coding in general!

Java and C# are very similiar, hence when MS started developing C# they even hired some former-Java dudes for that.

C#/Java is similiar to C++ syntax wise, but underneath it is totally different. First, C# and Java are running in a virtual machine. C++ (or plain C) is compiled into a binary where it runs natively on your machine. THis means in order to get your program running on a different OS, you need to compile it.

Would be nice if RB could be written in Java , so we don't need to compile specifically for Linux... (i dont use it, so i can't compile it for linux).

Also, Java uses its own memory management. So it is hard to have memory leaks (but it is possible) and you are almost assured all your objects are cleaned when not used.

Basically, if you can do C you can do Java. But the ohter way around is a bit more complicated.

well there is a cross-compiler in the Filebase
http://filebase.bots-united.com/inde...on=file&id=278

if you would like to build GNU/Linux binaries on Mac, you can also build a cross compiler from the GCC and Binutils source (for glibc, just use a pre-built version from a package of any GNU/Linux distributions will be fine).

just a note here:
the code is available at github as well: https://github.com/stefanhendriks/RealBot
so fork it off if anyone would like to do something with it
