    python pretty much works on anything these days. I saw on pygames site this:
    how do i go about running python/pygame on the dreamcast?
    I don't want to make a python homebrew that relies on DClinux lol.
    I have an idea that if i grab the source of python/pygame and a few other things, just compile it in a dcSDK makefile. or something.

    Any ideas will be nice.
    thanks,
    Chi kitory

    Hmm.. Maybe i can just use a python to c or c++ converter then change a few things to match the SDK of a dreamcast...

    Spend the day it takes to learn the basics of C and you'll be much better off. Once you understand structures and pointers and all the useful things they can do, there isn't a lot else to learn that you probably don't already know from Python (loops, conditionals, etc).

    Skip right to C++ imo. Once you learn C++ you can really easily understand C.

    As a coder who started on python then moved to c++ I can tell you that this is a decent path to take.
