Hello all! I've decided after thumbing through some of the documentation for Psy-Q (and doing the hello world example), I'd make this forum my new home. I'm looking forward to spending some of my time on these forums from now on.

However, I'd like to start off with a question that's been on my mind before I even signed up, where did you start off when you first came here? To be specific, how did you approach learning the Psy-Q libraries? Did you start by hitting the books and then go to the examples? Perhaps both at the same time? Do tell me, so you may help a newcomer begin their journey towards PSX Development!

Learn basic C and make simple computer programs, and then start to look at the Sony examples and start to mess around with programs on the PSX. The 'Hello World' demo is a good place to start. Try drawing 2D polygons in it next based off of the Sony examples (just copy and paste the library functions and learn what they are doing). Then, try playing MOD music using the HitMod library by 'HITMEN'. Once you've done that, you can try adding a sine text scroller.
