Marsh

Wow she sounds like a keeper! You on the other hand sound like a dick. Yea magic is easy to get into. Like renzo said just keep away from crazy serious people that take the joy out of the game. Unless you want to play competitively of course.

> Some clothes, poor Santa is poor :( Clothes are the best present!

Looks really nice man! Keep it up. What engine are you using?

Adding two sites to your list: [http://drunkronswanson.com/](http://drunkronswanson.com/) and [http://drawball.com/lolz/](http://drawball.com/lolz/) the second one gets amazing after about 20 minutes. Click and hold to see it.

All right guys its that time of year again. Make me jelly with the amazing presents you guys always get. I got a Raspberry Pi! Woooo.

This is not always the case but I think it is sometimes forgotten. 

Bring scripting back!

Unity is not well designed? Then how come millions of developers including the top AAA brand names use it. EA owns the source code, they bought it just to study it. If you think you can make a better engine then Unity make one because you will make millions. People who say anything close to this statement dont even know how little they know. But anyway, lets not get into a Unity fight. I just find it odd how people state there unresearched personal opinion as fact.

Looks decent!

*wipes tear from eye* that was beautiful Marshy CrestMatt to all :)

> You need to completely change your focus, even if Marsh buys it back it will not fix anything. Eclipse was never really that good. Robin is what made Eclipse somewhat decent for a short while, but Eclipse Origins is aging technology and what JC is coding is not much better. I only come for announcements. ;) I think it really depends on what you came to the site for. Eclipse never really being good is your opinion. It was amazing for a long time for me and my friends. If you want a professional engine and a community that isnt friends go get Unity or one of the other million engines out there.

The bigger one, never liked that small style.

It doesnt help that your only screenshot is broken. As well as your signature.

Ill answer one of your questions, the programming language it uses is Visual basic 6.

I cant stop reading this as non no nonsense game framework which is a double negative making me feel like its a nonsense game framework. Why is the abbreviation NON anyway?

> It depends on what your goal is. Do you want your users to, at the end of the game, know a programming language, or understand concepts in programming? > > Syntax is just syntax, and you can easily adjust as long as you know _what_ you're doing. So, if the case is that you just want to explain concepts, don't restrict yourself to an already existing language and feel free to make up your own. I want to teach them the concepts and at least some general syntax. Even if all the concepts are given to you and you have never seen a line of code your are still going to have trouble. I just want to show user code in the easiest form there is. Good chance I will be making my own language though if I use a existing one the user could get a lot more creative.

This post is aimed at anyone who has tried to pick up programming or seen a couple different languages. I want to make a game that teaches the user programming but am unsure of what language to start with. I am currently thinking python as it is probably the easiest to see and use in my opinion. Though the tabs may be a bit annoying or confusing at first. I am also considering LUA, I could also invent my own language that gets the concepts across. So Eclipse! What language did you find the easiest to learn. Or maybe perhaps just the easiest to read without knowing programming. Inb4 Chief trying to drag more innocents into Javascript.

> ya know who's good a rap? We should bring the Rap God title back.

> I was kidding lol. Why do you think that I have Avenged Sevenfold as avatar image? Yes, because I am listening to dubstep and rap :P lol I was wondering, im like is he joking?!?

> It is rap? Oh, to me it sounds like dubstep Kids these days, you think everythings dubstep.

Ha gotcha, this is actually a rap thread. [http://2mellomakes.bandcamp.com/album/final-fantasy-the-3-6-chambers](http://2mellomakes.bandcamp.com/album/final-fantasy-the-3-6-chambers)

Unity was written in c++ to add some perspective for you all ;)

Learn D [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language)) Then you will be ahead of the curve for when D++ comes out, and super ready for D#. > C#. You'll never need anything more than Unity, you will never have a need to go any closer to the metal to support learning C/C++ (unless you want to program for a living), and C# isn't going anywhere for a very long time. > > Ps. Don't concern yourself with cross platform deployment; Unity takes care of all that. Even if you use XNA you're still looking at 85-90% of the desktop market share. :) Some programmers here are actually making a living of C# its what the tools are made in if thats your thing.

Ah ok cool, Also Wing!! where you been?
