Hello all,
I just got started with plan9. I discovered purely by accident and was quite intrigued. I'm a programmer (C, C++, Python) and I'm thinking of deving a small game for plan9. I'm a highschool and University student at the moment (a product of my local university's accelerated entry and program and my programming knowledge). In both highschool and university m course load, starting this September, will be relatively low. On top of this I will still be taking the grade 12 programmer course. This gives me a bunch of time to dev whatever I want and I was thinking of doing another game. I have a couple of questions.
Are the current libraries sufficient for making an action game on plan9? I've been using SDL/Pygame for ages and haven't gone as low level as I may have to here. Also, where should I be looking for documentation?
How do I shutdown? I tried my usual too linux commands (halt, shutdown) but to no avail. I also noticed
reboot did reboot the computer but rebooting and then cutting the power mid memory check doesn't seem like the best solution.
Thanks all!
Mr. Norm S
