I just got my first pony running across platforms in a real coding language. I FEEL LIKE A PROUD PARENT RIGHT NOW. ;u;

@redenchilada #clap Way to go. Woo hoo.

@redenchilada *respectful golf clap* Bravo good sir, you have indeed impressed me to a level I could not comprehend before. Wait what are you using to code?

@noirbatch Java with LWJGL and Slick-Util for resource loading... hey, it's a start.
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 03:38:37 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@redenchilada Ew Java. Ew LWJGL. Ew Slick. ... Ew resources. (Jk)

@minti I used to be ew Java, until I actually did some research and found out that Java is in fact awesome (seriously, JIT is really cool stuff). The real ew part is that nearly every Java programmer is terrible.

@toksyuryel Yeah I know, I was being sarcastic. I just prefer lower-level languages. xD *MAKES GAME IN x86 ASM*
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 03:52:56 UTC from web-
@minti I think JIT may have the potential to be even faster than asm. I don't know for sure though. I do know that it can be faster than C in some circumstances. With time, the technology is likely to improve further.
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 03:54:41 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel I doubt that. Very much. Considering pure ASM is the fastest thing possible, and is generally wat JIT compilers compile into.
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 03:57:02 UTC from web-
@minti what* ..
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 03:57:31 UTC from web -
@minti Comparing raw execution speed doesn't work here because what makes JIT so fast is that it optimizes based on information only available at runtime. You can't do this sort of optimization normally, not even with asm. But, overhead's a factor as well as what kind of optimizations are possible and how quickly. The question is, how far can those factors be improved upon?
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 04:03:43 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel True. I still think that raw hand optimized asm will trump anything though. xD
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 04:05:43 UTC from web-
@minti I suppose only time will tell ☺

@redenchilada Further than me lol, I gave up on it. I am proud you had the tenacity.

@redenchilada Java seems too complicated and not powerful enough for me. It's like the great language that could have been. Applets are a real pain, IMO. I take Java AP, you see. I'd rather use Objective-C (iPhone, woo!) or C# (Unity. Best. Game Engine. Ever.)
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 04:03:26 UTC from web-
@sebastian1314 I like Java because Android development likes it. Plus APCS teaches it.
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 04:06:14 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@redenchilada Ah, yes, I know a lot of people that like it for that reason. And APCS? Is that the same as AP?
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 04:08:55 UTC from web-
@sebastian1314 Advanced Placement Computer Science?
Tuesday, 06-Mar-12 04:10:20 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@redenchilada Yep, same thing then.
