I know a couple of weeks ago I posted a message recommended a person not
learn REALBasic for their first language. I still believe in this very
much, but we do apparently have a couple of people on this list that work
with REALBasic. In my spare time I spend time helping multiple open
source projects - one of them being OpenAL. I don't know if many of you
are aware of this project, but more information can be found here:
http://www.openal.org
A person is currently trying to "port" openal to REALBasic. I am assuming
this means a wrapper around the API. At any rate he is running into some
trouble. I don't know enough to help him, nor do I have time to dig deep
into this issue. If you are interested in helping out with this you
should look at his webpage:
http://www.maui.net/~mauitom/openal.html
and his post:
http://opensource.creative.com/pipermail/openal-devel/2005-March/thread.html
which can be found there once the archives catch up. The linux
implementation is not without flaws, unfortunately I found that it is
difficult to get patches into the sample implementation. This should not
dissuade us from providing help.
If you know REALBasic, have a moment and would like a project ... think
about helping out. I don't ask because it is going to help me, but
because I think it is just a good thing (tm).
