Programming languages for DC?
What programming languages does Dreamcast support? I need to know what's the simplest and best way because I programme in html/javascript and I'm looking to learn another language if I have to so I can programme on the dreamcast.

Re: Programming languages for DC?
C and C++ are directly supported. You can also use Objective C, but you don't have any of the frameworks that people usually use with Objective C.
In addition, you can add scripting support to your code with Lua, but the base of your code still needs to be in C/C++ (nobody's ported Lua Player or other similar things).

Pretty much, yes.
JavaScript really won't be useful for anything on the Dreamcast, unfortunately (unless you want to make websites for the web browser with really old HTML and JS).
