Semi-related. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_for_Java

Directly to machine code? Holy crap, why can't other major Java developers look into that?

Although...
Quote
However, after start-up, Java code compiled by GCJ does not necessarily execute any faster than bytecode executed by a modern JIT-enabled JVM. This is true even when GCJ is invoked with advanced optimization options such as -fno-bounds-check -O3 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -ffast-math -march=native; in this case, the compiled program may or may not surpass JVM performance, depending on the operations performed by the code in question.[5]

Just loads faster. Not exactly that noticeable.

Because it removes multi-platform support. With the only benefit being slightly faster start-up times. And possibly slightly faster code, during certain circumstances. The cost is high, the benefit is very low.

Note that Java is complied to it's own Bytecode, which is a kind of machine code. So it's already much faster than interpreted languages like Python.

As I said in the other thread I've been using Gamemaker for 4/5 years now, never felt the need to shift over to anything as my wants are generally 2d. Its not without its faults, tying the sound to the media player is probably the daftest thing I've come across but its easily worked around with a .dll to externalise stuff. Oh, and the documentation that comes with it whilst not as bad as the BlitzMAX docs, could certainly do with some sprucing up.

You can get a pretty reasonable game up and running using the drag and drop commands, but if you want to get the most out of it - there's the inbuilt scripting language GML which more than does the trick.

I'm still working on G-Force in it, and not hit any brick walls aside from my own lack of time. I've seen some great games written in it also, Clean Asia being a recent example, Pug Fuglys The Pyramid, Kairuga, Seiklus...

A lovely bit of kit all told, but understandably, not necessarily for everyone.

I love game maker! The drag and drop commands are not quite good enough for me but GML is more than enough. It also makes understanding any other language easy. Game Maker studio is GREAT!!! Anyways Derek made Spelunky in Game Maker and that proves that it is a worthy tool.

If we were arguing based on cost vs. power, then the obvious choice is pure C++ and OpenGL. 100% free, and extremely powerful. If you want to make it easier for yourself, then just use SFML. I may be a BIT biased though Wink

If we were arguing based on cost vs. power, then the obvious choice is pure C++ and OpenGL.

It is worth pointing out that there is more to cost than just monetary considerations. You also have to consider the time it takes to learn a given solution, as well as the time it takes to work with a given solution and get results.

Now, the SFML solution is actually a good suggestion, as that library does a great deal to help cut down on the necessary learning and labor for getting C++ and OpenGL to do what you want them to. I can certainly agree that this is a very cost-effective solution for the budget-minded developer. I would also note that there are plenty of low-cost/free IDEs available that work well with C++ and SFML. I've personally gotten projects using SFML and OpenGL working in CodeBlocks, Visual Studio Express, and XCode.

This sounds interesting, what with its game templates and all, but unfortunately all new registrations are closed at this time and it can't be downloaded without a registered account.
