I NEED HELP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.vectrex (More info?)

Okay, here's my scenario:

I really, really want to get started programming my own games for the
Vectrex -- well, actually, for my DVE -- but I don't even know a thing
about C! Can anyone out there tell me about a good place to get
started with C?

If there's anyone who can -- anyone at all -- I will gladly pay him
dearly with my life.

I know C and C isn't really what you need to learn to program the veccy,
you need to learn m6809 assembly.

IF you are intent on learning C I found the Deitel & Deitel Books to be a
good text if you read the chapters a few times and do all the exercises at
the end of the chapters.

Sure, find a book on programming C!

Though there's a whole lot of truth to that, there IS a C compiler
for Vectrex, and I assume that's what he's after.

yeah the C compiler is a waste of time though unfortunately; although I
prototyped a couple games using it I fear it's no where near polished
enough to do games with. I gotta get back to programming the veccy someday
bleh.
