Well the good news is that I got it running on intel with black/white & colour!
The bad news is that I seem to be screwing up all the NeXT Events so it doesn't like the way I'm handling it... I've been using the NeXTwin.m from uae to try to coble it together with some limited sucess... I guess I'll just have to do a whole sale life of it, as I'm really in the dark on how to do proper GUI Objective C programming...
Does anyone know of a good FAQ/Readme/Something!?
Also I have no idea how to do a NIB.. I again had to use the UAE one, but the dimensions are all wrong. I'd love to do something like the nextstep doom, but I don't see it anywhere...
At any rate, it'll happily run the demo loop now. I did try crosscompiling it for the 68k, but as the author of GLFrontier says it's completely untested on big endian machines, and it crashes.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for creating the GUI part, or even a good 'skeleton' that I can use I'd greatly appreciate it.
Otherwise if you want a copy, message me, and I'll email it, it's about four megabytes compressed... I'm running it on virtualbox/Qemu and it looks ok on a 1.6Ghz+ machine... I suspect it'd not be as resource hungry on a real box though.
I found a wealth of information here:
http://www.nextarchive.net/?programming=trueI just haven't run thru it yet... The online documentation from NeXT is more procedural without any examples... I hope SUN's stab via OpenSTEP isn't as dry...
Simson has his NEXTSTEP Programming book online if that helps.
http://www.simson.net/ref/1993/NeXTSTEP3.0.pdfAlso, have a look through this stuff as time permits.
http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Docs/Developer/Hope you get it running. :)

Wow I thumbed thru the book and it looks awesome!... I'm sure I can make some sense of it so it'll be playable, vs some looped 'demo' at the moment.
I can email you what I have thus far if you want to try run it, however its intel only.
Thanks again!
I've been going thru that book slowly and it hit me that Yellow Box is on OS X Server 1.0! So I grab my CD's and install it on a Windows 2000 VM (the one I build my Qemu stuff on), and come back with this:

Sigh. So freaking close, project builder is kind of neat but it's funny (or typical I guess) that an 8mb C file blows up the stack on the compiler...
lol anyone know how to bump up the stack on gcc on Yellow box? Yeah...
