Hey all, just a cross post. Ashbad (a cemetech user) and I are making a online book/tutorial for programming C for the Prizm. We hope this will further game development as well as teach those interested in coding for the Prizm. We engourage omnimaga users to comment and give suggestions.
Here is our layout so far.

Lesson Layout

Section 1: Introduction
    - Resources for learning the basics of C
    - Setting up the SDK

Section 2: Basics
    - Icon Design Guidelines
    - Hello world -- familiarizing yourself with the compiling process
    - General layout of a C program for the Prizm

Section 3: Simple libfxcg Routines
    - General library layout
    - Simple graphics
    - Timing functions
    - Memory manipulation

Section 4: User interaction/Input
    - Basic user input
    - Advanced

Section 5: File Management
    - Working with file functions
    - Main memory
    - Storage memory and the main filesystem

Section 6: Useful Routines Reference and Documentation
    - Graphical
    - Input and Interactive
    - Mathematical
    - Overwrapped OS routines

Section 7: Your First Game
    - Tying it all together
    - Useful tools and design considerations
    - Ping, Pong, code along
    - Dashing through game development

Section 8: Low Level Workings
    - The Prizm OS at a lower level
    - Interfacing with the hardware directly
    - Working in Real Time

Section 9: Intro to SuperH assembly
    - Basic overview
    - C to Assembly translation
    - Inline Assembly in GCC
    - Linking separate Assembly files

Ashbad (a cemetech user)
Lol. No need to introduce him Tongue

Anyway, it is a great idea, it will be useful for people willing to develop for Prizm, so it will help the Prizm community to grow Smiley

It will be a good idea to ensure people know the differences between computer C and PRIZM C, so they don't get confused too much if they use a tutorial for computers.
