This Bitfighter game is mostly programmed in C++. Mac / windows / linux use the same C++ programming language, the big difference is how to compile C++ program.

As for making your changes to bitfighter, you can start out here: http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Co ... _Mercurial
The changes you can make might include fixing problems or adding features to game, or other stuff you can think of. Keep in mind that, when you clone, your changes won't be in the main repository until other developers checks your work in your clone to see if changes is good. If changes is good, then your changes may get added to main Bitfighter code. One note, we might not check your work until you tell us to check.

There is a LUA scripting programming language that runs just the robots and levelgens.

Re: Developers

If you've never used mercurial before (or even version control systems,) I recommend studying this tutorial thoroughly:

Re: Developers

Man this is complex. I installed it I think. Well I can use hg. But I just downloaded a clone and I found an xcode file, opened it and it has everything. Can I just use Xcode?

Re: Developers

You'll definitely need mercurial to get the code, and to post any changes you make that should be brought back into the mainline code.

But one step at a time.

Re: Developers

Great to see you're into music as well.

That's a sort-of combo I have myself right now.

Can't wait to hear anything you come up with, if you do decide to make some tracks.
