Just ask those guys at OMNI Group to write something, especially about games
(he sayeth selfishly) but actually anything at all, from Apple to the OMNI
frameworks to whatever they think is appropriate. OMNI WROX :). They deserve
more money and recognition and exposure and did I mention money? OK OK, you
ALL deserve more money and recognition and exposure and money.
But I just wanna know how to write good Mac game (catch-all for graphics,
world simulation and A.I.) code using Obj-C/Cocoa first, C++/Carbon second
and 100% pure Java or portable C++ third.
Thanks, BG
