I wonder how developers write and test their game. You still need a computer
to write the code, with the libraries to compile it (I think C++ is the
mainstream language), run and debug it. I don't think that any console is
powerful enough to be used as a computer for this job. Not to mention that
you need other programmes as well, for the art of the game. So there must be
some kind of emulator, maybe available to developers at a high price.
Anybody with more info on that?
Friendly, Kostas.
