I've been trying to figure out how to write Space Invaders in Coca for going on 3 years now. I am familiar with K&R C as well as ANSI, and dabbled with Smalltalk a long time ago. And by extension Objective C is not hard to read.
Systems I have wrote space invaders with no problem:
C64 - 6502 assembly - around a month
Amiga - 68000 Assembly - about 3 months
Macintosh (System 6) - Quickdraw 1 week using Think C
UNIX - text curses lib - 3 days
Cocoa, I have found the documentation a complete nightmare. The documentation explains so little of what it is doing. The auto-magicness of Interface Builder, What does this stuff actually do?
