Hi everyone, i have just joined this website while my psp toolchain is setting up zzzzzzzzzz....

Knowing BBCODE and HTML has nothing to do with coding for your psp.

First you have to learn the principals of C and then mayby C++

When you understand C/C++ you can take a look at the simple basic tutorials at this site:
www.psp-programming.com (sometimes the site doesn't show up. Try again in a couple of minutes if it happends to you)
psp-programming also has a better forum for beginners than this one.

How long it takes to write a program depends on the skills of the programmer (coding/logic thinking/etc) , complexity of the program you want to write , etc.

Some simple programs i write on requests somethimes take only 10 minutes to write. Others (like the enormous game a am coding atm has token 2 weeks already) Can take op to several months.

Code: Select all

int main(){
     SetupCallbacks();
     makeNiceGame();
     sceKernelExitGame();
}

if you are a total c++ noob you can start with this:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
I actually think you are not ready to program for the psp since you have no experience with C or C++. It's beter to start with some basic windows/linux/mac (dunno what you are using) console programming.

Code: Select all

int main(){
     SetupCallbacks();
     makeNiceGame();
     sceKernelExitGame();
}
