----------------------------------- foo fighter Mon Dec 12, 2005 6:07 pm Was this game made with Turing? ----------------------------------- Its a cool jetpack game. Its similar to a mario game and it even has map editor. i didn't make it though, just check it out. :D ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Dec 12, 2005 6:13 pm ----------------------------------- Was this game made with Turing? No. It was made 10 years ago using Borland C++, though not quite making use of C++'s capabilities. Although you can't be sure since it was 10 years ago... ----------------------------------- do_pete Mon Dec 12, 2005 9:26 pm ----------------------------------- it's not too hard to distinguish between Turing and C++ ----------------------------------- TheXploder Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:18 pm ----------------------------------- it's not too hard to distinguish between Turing and C++ Yeah Turing sucks, C++ Rules ----------------------------------- tupac Thu Feb 09, 2006 7:13 pm ----------------------------------- not rele, turing uses a C compler... well its almost like C (but not nearly as good c++). turing is like a combo of pascal, c, and a lil bit of basic. ----------------------------------- iker Thu Feb 09, 2006 8:46 pm ----------------------------------- Tupac IS dead, and so is this topic... read the forum rules before posting please people. ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Feb 09, 2006 10:33 pm ----------------------------------- This was a month old topic not rele, turing uses a C compler... No, it doesn't. You get a warning for bringing up an old topic with fallacious information. Another offence will likely result (and is not limited to) suspension. This post has also been PMed to tupac for confirmation. ----------------------------------- Dan Thu Feb 09, 2006 11:44 pm ----------------------------------- I blive some of the older versons of turing aucatly did transle the turing code and use a C++ complier. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Feb 10, 2006 12:03 am ----------------------------------- C++, not C :wink: and certanly not combo of pascal, c, and a lil bit of basic. :lol: ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Feb 10, 2006 12:45 am ----------------------------------- He makes it sound like Turing is as good as C. :lol: C++ is also not supremely better than C in all cases, C is better for some things. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:12 am ----------------------------------- how about... :locked: ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Feb 10, 2006 2:09 am ----------------------------------- Whether or not Turing is better than C++ is irrelevant. Define better. Is C++ faster than Turing? Incredibly so. Is that all that we're looking for in a language? Not at all. If you want speed, and only speed, C++, or even C are your best choices. But the only thing on people's minds isn't speed. Take Java for example. Even though it's a lot slower than C++ (not so much anymore, but very much so when it came out) people were quick to pick it up for big corporate projects. They clearly knew it wasn't the fastest language out there, but they chose it anyway. Why? A number of reasons. It's easier and safer to develop software in Java than in C++. It's faster. Would you take a 10% performance hit if you could get a 10% more productive workforce? These people said yes. What if your program would also be less buggy than the C++ equivalent too, thus cutting down on the amount of support required for your application after you ship it? Turing isn't aiming to replace C++. The goal behind it was to create a language that is powerful enough to handle some more advanced computer science concepts, and at the same time make programming easy and fun to learn for people with no prior experience. Does it succeed in this? Absolutely. Here's a challenge. Draw a Canadian Flag onto the screen. In Turing, you can do it in 3 very straightfoward lines. It's small, looks good as a first program to write, and you can show it off to your friends. With C++, it'd take at least 100, 95 of which would be impossible to explain to someone with no prior programming experience. So which language is better to learn with? ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Feb 10, 2006 3:32 am ----------------------------------- If you want speed, and only speed, C++, or even C are your best choices. But the only thing on people's minds isn't speed. I whould think that asm (assembly) whould be faster then C/C++ or at least as fast. Tho like your compareson between Cs and java asm whould give you lots of bugs, much slower devlopment times, sucdieal progamers and alot harder time updating affter shiping. ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Feb 10, 2006 3:39 am ----------------------------------- I think that C code would be faster than assembly (if both written by normal programmers with the same amount of knowledge in their respective fields), if only because of the optimizations that a C compiler can do. But in any case, that wasn't the point :P ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:46 pm ----------------------------------- I think that C code would be faster than assembly (if both written by normal programmers with the same amount of knowledge in their respective fields), if only because of the optimizations that a C compiler can do.

Depending on the complexity of operation, this could be even faster :lol: ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Feb 10, 2006 2:29 pm ----------------------------------- lol try to beat binary operations with logic gates ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Feb 10, 2006 5:05 pm ----------------------------------- How about a hardware soltion using qutome computing tecnogly, that whould beat binary operations =p
