You have a messed up teacher if your beginning language was assembly.

Define how it works. You mean just organization wise? Like how one programs with it?

Hi Trishume,

I would like to congradulate you on OpenTuring, it is a lot better... I was wondering though if you have a syntax file for the turing language, or if there is one somwhere within the installation files.

Thanks,
Ryan

Question? Dose this work on mac??

[Raknarg]

Doubt it. But if you expect to be able to program on a mac, you're probably going to have a bad time (i think)

Based on what?

I've been programming on a mac since 11th grade. I ran Turing in Wine, which worked just fine. Compilers & interpreters for almost all major languages are included with the OS install disks (or disk images, for the more recent releases) and are very easy to install. There's no reason programming on osx should be difficult at all.

[Raknarg]

Oh, I haven't done any real research, I just heard people talking about how it's annoying to program with osx, cause of limited functionality or something. Maybe they were talking about something else

[Insectoid]

OSX has as much functionality as Linux and Windows. It simply doesn't have access to Windows APIs and libraries, same as any other non-Windows platform.

[DemonWasp]

In a lot of ways, OSX is more functional than Windows for programming. At the very least, it has a worthwhile shell. Programming in Windows feels like being chained to an anchor.

I don't know how true it is, but I've also heard a lot of complaints that xcode is very unstable. Anyone have personal experience?

I've only used it a couple of times. I mostly program in a text editor and console, 'cause I don't like bulky IDEs. When I did use it though, I had no issues.
