Mac Programming :)
The memory protection on it sucked(this was system 7.5, I haven't used anything newer). So that's why I stuck with windows. I only had about half the chance of crashing the whole computer when I slipped Jonathan
When I started going to college, they tought us c++ on the Mac. I pulled my hair many many times at "Error: -1" WTF is that? Reference books are not found (at my school). At least on NT when I get a "Memory cannot be 'read'" message and I know I did something foolish with pointers (e.g. NULL->Next()). I am not against Mac programming. As a matter of fact I want my game to be crossplatform since 50% of my friends own a Mac. However I find little to no resource on the subject and I don't want to spend an arm and leg to purchase a Mac when I'm still trying to buy a better PC
If anyone know of any good Mac programming (does not have to be game related) references, please mention them.
Thanks,

I think there's an error.h file that has a bunch of #defines that'll help you a bit Jonathan
1) There far too expensive
2) I find Windows much nicer and easier to use
3) All of the Macs i've used have been much more unstable then my Win98 system
4) Most people have Windows PC's.
To be fair, I haven't used the latest MacOS so some of these problems may have been fixed. But I'm plenty happy with my Windows system right now.

As for error codes, well, look in errors.h or learn to use a source level debugger (that comes with most IDEs) or the low level debugger Macsbug: ftp://ftp.apple.com//devworld/Tool_Chest/Testing_-_Debugging/Debuggers_-_dcmds/MacsBug_6.6.sit.hqx
Apple has almost as much information online as Microsoft does. Check it out at: http://www.apple.com/developer
gdb is easier than that Jonathan
P.S. And codewarrior never caught the bombs in time. 
GWorlds are dangerous things to play with I guess
