Okay, thanks for the advice. Java it is. Actually, I have friends at uni who program Java, so that could help too...  |

Agreed. If you're not really that interested in programming, and just want a quick way to pump out cross platform proggies, then Java is your friend. |

If you want things simple and cross platform, then Java is the way to go. |

If you want it portable to Windows, then Java would be easier since it's meant for cross platform development. However, C would be a simpiler language to use as the compiler you'd use on Mac (gcc I believe), has support on Windows via MinGW. There are quite a few GUI packages for C that you could use: gtk and Tcl/Tk but I have not worked with either of those two. |

Okay, I want to build an editor to make a ROM editor for the game Advance Wars 2. The problem is, I don't know any programming languages. I thought it might be a good idea to ask the more well informed here before I set off onto attempting to learn something.
So, from a romhacker's perspective, what would be the simplest language that I could use and make a GUI style editor with and have it runnable on my Apple Mac, but easily portable to a windows environment?
I'm more interested in learning it as a means to my end, than to learn the language for the sake of learning it. |
