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. Very Happy

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...

it's not too hard to distinguish between Turing and C++

Yeah Turing sucks, C++ Rules

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.

Tupac IS dead, and so is this topic...
read the forum rules before posting please people.

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.

I blive some of the older versons of turing aucatly did transle the turing code and use a C++ complier.

He makes it sound like Turing is as good as C. Laughing

C++ is also not supremely better than C in all cases, C is better for some things.

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?

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.

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 Razz

Indeed tho c dose go to asm before it compiles i blive so in theroy a crazy leet asm progmer could make a faster if not as fast asm app =p.
