hounter90:
I am a game developer and am very interested in making games for Rockbox to build my game portfolio. What programs could i use to develop games for rockbox and are there any places for tutorials on how to develop games for the iPod. Any help would be much appreciated.

Rockbox is just written in (mostly) C.  There is a plugin architecture that makes it pretty easy to get started.  You need to set up a development environment, and then you should read HowtoWritePlugins and look at the source of the existing plugins.

hounter90:
ok, we talking C++ or C#. They are similar languages, but also very different. Could i use something like Bloodshed Dev C++ for it?

Llorean:
C. Not C++ or C#.

cool_walking_:
You can use whatever text editor you want (assuming it can handle Unix line ends), but Bloodshed isn't going to work to compile*.  You need one of the development environments referenced in SimpleGuideToCompiling.

*I haven't really used Bloodshed.  Maybe you can set up the project so that you can compile from within Bloodshed, but it won't work out of the box.
