I am thinking to write a program similar to Tamagotchi (the electronics pets) http://individual.utoronto.ca/elaine/tama.htm
which programming language I should use for this project? Java, c or c++? Please advise, thank you.

I can't imagine using Java with a PIC.. also this is not a PIC forum its really a CCS compiler forum which is a C compiler for the PIC microprocessors.

That said, you could use C with a PIC and all you'd need to find really is a nice little dot matrix and possibly a controller for it. It would need to be small form factor but SSOP components would fit nicely especially when you print your own PCB. then all you need is to worry about battery. PIC LF's (eg. 18LF2525) can operate over a wide voltage range.

Java for a PIC. LOL
I get a kick out of of reading this forum.
Linux on a pic, trying to put more than 5 volts on a pic pin,
hardwiring a pic to a pc's serial port with no max232 and many more sad but funny things.

Has anyone asked if it's possible to do openGL 3d graphics programming on a PIC?

Hey, I've had 24V on a pic before.... on accident, of course.

Yep, the magic smoke came out then too. Wink

I'm just waiting for somebody to complain that they can't use C# on the PIC! Some of the things people try to do with an EMBEDDED < $10 processor!!
