I think you will find that you can not use the AppGameKit IDE as it is for Basic not C++.

Halley, what you can do is download Code::blocks which is a c++ ide and is what the AppGameKit BASIC IDE is based on. In fact I believe TGC customized Code::blocks to make the AppGameKit BASIC IDE.

^Although it still wouldn't work for broadcast mode


Why does blue text appear every time you are near?

True that. I think the broadcasting feature is quite exclusive to TGC I haven't heard of it otherwise...well atleast over multiple OSs anyway .

The IDE is based on code::blocks, you can assign a different compiler or you can install code::blocks itself with the default C++ compiler, it will also compile using Visual Studio 2008/ 2010

However the AppGameKit IDE while based on code::blocks is designed for tier 1 basic commands, you'd likely have to modify it to get it working with C++.

It's easier just to grab a copy of code::blocks from http://www.codeblocks.org/

If you are looking to work directly with iOS or Bada development then it's best to work with xcode and Visual Studio C++

However broadcast mode only works with Tier 1, as working directly with SDK's allows you to install the software directly to the device you are working with.

As a result I'd recommend working in Tier 1 for the prototype, then migrating to Tier 2 specific platform technologies once you have a working prototype, that way you can work on optimizing the program for that specific platform which is the purpose of tier 2.

I take it there is no automated way to port between the Basic of Tier 1 and C++ of Tier 2. Only rewriting the code.

It would be possible to make a program that read in AppGameKit basic and output C++ code. I think TGC has talked about the possibility of more tools down the road so that may be something they could consider.

There can only be one
