Author | Topic: What programming language is TR written in?
Fearful Symmetry Member Posts: 31 From:Ten Forward Registered: Sep 2001 | posted 10-14-2001 06:15 PM is it custom made by 'core' using their TRLE engine, or pascal etc...? ------------------ Tiger Tiger, burning bright, in the forrest of the night.... IP: Logged

Not that i know anything about Programing.. But hey at least i answered your Question! ^_^ ------------------ IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 584 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 10-15-2001 06:57 PM C is not too old, it is still a VERY useful language. It is just different than C++, but that does not make it obsolete. Assembly is used less today in applications, but is still essential for low-level functionality like device drivers, and firmware embedded on graphics and sound cards, etc. IP: Logged

aktrekker Member Posts: 584 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 10-21-2001 06:51 PM Most likely. The original version would have been written before C++ became so popular. I'm sure there is a little Assembly to speed up the preview mode. IP: Logged

aktrekker Member Posts: 584 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 10-28-2001 08:32 PM So far, 4GLs are not suited to low-level or fast-paced real-time programming. They tend to run best in interpreted mode, and provide little or no means for interfacing to hardware. They are meant to be used in intelligent applications. Other languages will still be needed for special programming like graphics and hardware control. Similar to the relationship between C/C++ and Assembly right now. IP: Logged

guardianofseth Member Posts: 67 From:Jakarta,Indonesia Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 10-29-2001 04:39 PM what's the difference between C and C++? IP: Logged
aktrekker Member Posts: 584 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 10-29-2001 04:40 PM Very simply, and in non-technical terms, C++ is "object-oriented". You define objects that know how to do things. Then you make all the objects talk to each other, and tell them to do things. C is "procedure-oriented". You just write the code to do what you want, there are no objects. You can simulate most of the object-oriented behavior of C++, but it takes alot of extra code to do it. IP: Logged
