    I don't know if this is a dumb question, but I want to make a ROM Hack, or something similar, using C++. I don't have to use C++ for the entire game, but I want to know if it's possible to code event and plot scripts/items/game mechanics, using C++. If so, how do I go about it? I'd appreciate as detailed answers as possible, and to know if it's worth it. Thanks!
     
    The Pokémon Fire Red/Emerald decomps are mostly written in C and can be used to edit and program the game, which I'm guessing would allow you to write new mechanics.

    The Rom Hacking subforum is more appropriate for questions on this subject and will probably be more helpful. You could request for the post to be moved there.
