I've done quite a lot of programming on the PC and really appreciate the
ideas and info presented here in this group. They have have been more
than just interesting for me. I am, however, trying to expand on the
platforms that I work on, and the Mac is my next choice. So I have a
couple of simple questions that are kind of related to games programming.
1. What are the available C compilers for the Mac? I know there is
ThinkC, are there any others.
2. What are the available assemblers for the Mac?
3. What books or documentation are recommended that describe graphics
and general programming items for the Mac?
Replies via e-mail or postings are accepted as I read this group
regularly. Thanks
