I honestly don't think it should have been shut down just because someone got their panties all twisted up; that's what the /headdesk was for.

Mutton chops with an incomplete handle bar? I don't even…

> Sounds good, you can just send me a pm so we can keep this thread clean. I only pay via paypal btw That's perfectly fine and something I forgot to add to the first post; I have a certified paypal account and that is the only means by which I can accept payment.

> I'm in Canada (eastern time). > > a US server is fine by me since most of my players will be american anyway. > > edit: 90% of all canadians live on the border. im 45 mins from Vermont so lol Cool. The company that hosts it is based out of Toronto. Had to go through my banks fraud department just to make the out of country transaction for it. lol. What I can do is get a speed test from the server to your location; it'll have to wait until the VPS is fully provisioned (on going right now), though.

> Very good price. If i get a free month or a half a month (just to test it for lag and stuff), then I will be probably buying the 3 month package. Where are you located? The VPS is hosted in the US.

> You _were_ that position offer, and it weren't even related to the above areas.  Oh, well.. you know, you CAN use me, you know?

> I thought as much. This new project, have you got anything information-wise etched out? Or are you going on a thought and your own will? What are your plans for it, if any? I've stumbled over two coherent ideas. 1) Write a platform or space themed side-scroller; this would allow me to learn how to precisely handle pixel-based collision and other physics associated with particles and objects in a 2.5D space. 2) Use the knowledge gained in number one to write a 2.5D ORPG. The current problem is that I'm spitting out ideas faster than I can code them. When I start a project I dislike being distracted, and that's exactly why I had to shut down Revelation - The Awakening for the time being. Once I get the basis for this graphical project put together I'll be switching back and forth between the two projects; this will ultimately allow me to practice and expand on the concepts I've learned in two languages at once.

*I've provided a poll so that I can determine the needs of the community in terms of how many would be interested and what price point would be widely accepted. **Overview** I've just come into a VPS of my own but I do not have a legitimate use for it aside from testing Revelation - The Awakening, using it as a sandbox for testing remote database applications, website design, and other things that I may have an inkling to fiddle with at any given time. What I'm willing to do for the community, regardless of someones socioeconomic status, age, ethnicity, or religion, is to provide a limited number of slots on my VPS for Eclipsians to host their servers at a very low cost. **Pseudo Legal:** * The user, identified as being the Leasee (purchaser) of the VPS "space", is obligated to remit (pay) monthly installments to the Leasor (Me). * In the event of a default (non-payment) the Leasee will have 10 days (no discrepancies between working and weekend; 10 is 10 here) to remit payment at the original lease price plus an additional 10% for every day that payment is withheld (not paid). In the event that the account remains at a non-payment status (you didn't pay) for more than 20 days, the Leasee will cease to be granted access to the VPS "space" and will have their software and all associated files removed. * There is no express or implied warranty granted by the Leasor concerning access to or up-time of the VPS "space"; this service is provided as is within reasonable expectations of a similar, unmanaged service. * Refunds are not granted for any reason, under any circumstance. In the event that the Leasee discontinues his or her service with the Leasor, the service will continue until the end of the stated billing cycle (1 month recurring/repeated). * The Leasee is guaranteed access to the service until the end of his or her billing cycle upon remittance of on-time payment (pay on time, you're guaranteed access for that month). **Support**: * Support is currently not offered for any Eclipse or associated application, database, extension, or other assembly. * The Leasee is responsible for managing their application, data, and other essential files associated with their application. **Price**: * 1 Month: $3.00 USD * 3 Month: $8.00 USD **Payment Methods**: * PayPal, Certified Only. **VPS Specifications**: * Processor: Intel Xeon L5640 Westmere 2.26GHz 12MB L3 Cache, 6 core processor; 2 cores dedicated to this VPS. * RAM: 2 Gigabytes. * Connection: 100 Mbps. * Space: 25 Gigabytes. * Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard * CGI, PHP, Perl, ASP, ASP.NET, SSI, MySQL 5.x, MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, IIS 7, .NET Framework and others. **Slots Available**: * 5 out of 5 * If a slot is currently available, please send me a message and we will discuss options.

The project's development is temporarily on hold while I determine the best route to take in terms of handling the presentation of various combat and item related information and how to process the datum associated with each player. My goal is to take a 100% object-oriented approach, and as it stands right now I'm pretty far from that goal outside of the networking. I'm also starting development on another project that's written entirely in VC# 2010, is currently 100% object-oriented, and uses XNA 4.0\. I feel that to be competitive in the current game market, even for an indie developer, you have to be as current and relevant as possible to current market interests, and this project allows me to do both. Development will never stop on Revelation - The Awakening, nor do I plan on stepping away from the tentative release date that I've set approximately 298 days from now. I want to thank everyone who has shown interest in the project, and I mean it when I say that this game will be playable at some point in the future; I've even stumbled over the idea of releasing the source under a [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/deed.en_US), for free, and in the spirit of open source code, without profit or the endorsement of for profit or commercialization of the code.

There's nothing but implied subjective criticism with no helpful, constructive comments going on here. Personally, I think the site has dramatically improved over the last two weeks; the color scheme change was the best thing that could have happened, in my opinion.

> Eclipse is really already like this. People come to the forum and get the official version. This is good because it lets people get started without being to confused of what to download. Then they explore the forum and see the many other versions of Eclipse (official old versions or custom releases). So when's the vote for a new developer?

If he plans on "entering the industry" he'll be going to college and will re-learn everything anyway, so once again, we're back to having preference being the end all to this topic.

> +Diagonal movement has been fixed to run on it's own constant, now moves at the same speed as regular left/right/up/down movement speeds. So that's how you fix that, huh?

> He didnt say something simple > > When you learn a high level language you will not understand what you are doing because most of it is done behind the scenes, I didnt say you have to master it. But if you wanted more flexibility in the future you will have to learn it anyway. Sure if you want something just to fool around by all means go ahed use whatever you want. I would vote for html5 and javascript then. But in my opinion if you are going to learn something and you are serious about it then you should be ok with spending the extra time to learn it. It doesn't matter what he said. You obviously didn't comprehend what I wrote. The fact is that the length of time required to write something in C/C++ is higher than it takes to write the same thing in VB. The length of time required to write something exponentially increases the more dynamic or complex the application becomes; VB, as far as time and effort goes, will always win over C/C++; that's why it's still in use today, and that is to rapidly develop applications. As far as "not knowing how it works" goes, that's not true at all. You still have to know the difference between the processor cache and managed heap, the difference between a value and a reference, a shallow and deep copy, scope, inheritance, generics, polymorphism, etc. The list goes on. The point is that regardless of the language these concepts never change. That you would even insinuate differently leaves me to question your own knowledge, and thus renders your opinion questionable.

> OOP C++ of course once you understand c++ the concept is very simmilar with the rest of the languages just the syntax is a litle different. If you are really dedicated thats is where you need to start and look a little into assembly because it is challenging and tedious but you will really understand what is going on and what you are doing this way. > > People always try to take the easy way out you need to spend long hours practicing and reading and pulling your hair if you want to be a decent proggramer there is no silver bullet and if this idea scares you then I have news for you, you will find it's a waste of your time. I disagree. The majority of the problem with learning a programming language is because of the complexity associated with trivial or otherwise simple things. If you want to write boilerplate crap, go with C/C++ and spend days developing something simple. If you want to skip the boilerplate crap and develop something simple (with limited control over the boilerplate crap) in hours, go with another high level language.

Honestly sounds like every artist that you have in this topic needs a lesson in music theory with the exception of Baeadle; his/her track was the best by far in terms of composition. Ternary form is okay but rondo is by far the best form to use when working with any genre of electronic music, especially dubstep (ternary filled with literally nothing but poly rhythms) which Deathstar failed horribly at doing; his track was nowhere near dubstep. A good example of dubstep: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzqJKslnwK8[/media]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llDikI2hTtk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llDikI2hTtk)
