Good luck

[Derron]

a ".xyz" domain sounds to me like a bit like a "bla bla" domain ... so "whatever-product.xyz".


Are you a developer of wonkey or has the official wonkey language project no forum? Just putting your efforts in question - if nobody needs them you better invest your time in other stuff. if the project requires a forum and you are the one stepping in, then this might be a good thing.

I think Derron is correct.

[MikeHart]

Ron, they have a discord channel, that is their forum.

[Derron]

Just asked if it was the "official forum" then this might be the way to go - but "inofficial forums" tend to be ... lost places

so.... which is better wonkey or cerberus X
im so confused with all those langauges.. monkey x cerberus wonkey donky.. i dunno

[Xaron]

They are all just tools. I'm biased, leaning towards Cerberus.

[markcwm]

The main difference as I understand it is Wonkey is more modern and was for 3D. CerberusX was for 2D and is more backwards compatible but also has 3D with Monkey Minib3d or Vortex. I found a few useful threads.

MonkeyX user numbers compared to BlitzMax users?
Wow, Mark just reached his $1000 dollar goal!!!
Monkey 3D

[Xaron]

They use different approaches.

Monkey/Cerberus transpiles to the native target language (e.g. Java for Android, Javascript for HTML5, Obj-C for iOS, etc...) while Wonkey aka Monkey 2 transpiles everything to C++.

Honestly I wouldn't use any of the two for serious 3d projects.

If you want to create 2d cross platform games I still think Cerberus is superior to Wonkey.
Monkey is/was also used for some commercial hits.

Ok. Thanks.

I need cola now

[Xaron]

Ok. Thanks.

I need cola now

Ok don't rush into anything now! Pepsi or Coca?

[markcwm]

Cola is bad for your teeth, assuming you mean the sugar stuff. And the artificial sweeteners in the diet stuff is also bad for you, especially young children. So I recommend tonic water, without the Gin, it's what I drink. I'm not joking.

[Xaron]

I'll take the Gin then.

[Hardcoal]

bad for teeth but great for soul.
