I don't see any problem in trying to do "nitty gritty" with any language, it's not like this is a child's programming language.
I still haven't been able to do what I wanted to do, someone sent me a PM because they refuse to post here (!?) and the code they shared was unreadable to me. People seem to forget I said I am a newbie coder and I don't fully understand coding yet. You can't just send me a bunch of uncommented code with undecipherable variables. It all looks like taken out of the magic hat.

But what you're trying to do is nitty gritty.
Any language should support reading a stream of bytes from a file. This you can do, and then interpret it according the Protracker file format. Some MODs and MEDS might not follow it exactly, and you must account for this or throw an error. |
