> A better word to use is terribly "designed". I consider coding and design two of the same. You can code the most beautiful code in the world, but if the design sucks, the code sucks. Are we talking about the design of the software's source or the end result? They're too totally different beats.

> This is most definitely true, but the way Windows operates is in no way close to Linux in terms of security. Linux has had SUDO aka UAC in Windows way before it. Windows has always been behind Linux in the core design, but Windows makes up for it for making it easy for developers. That's the one thing Microsoft has done right. I don't know what exactly qualifies you to judge the tenants of the Windows operating system. I'm not one to praise a corporation, especially one that I disagree with in almost every area, but I also know when to spot very true, I was wrong all along. Yes, Linux is superior in many ways to Windows, but the common user won't find any **actual** security advantages under Linux. Well, unless you consider my previous statement concerning the fact that not much malicious software is designed for anything but Windows. My largest beef with you is concerning your sentiment that Windows is "terribly coded." There isn't a single person in this community that is qualified to make such a statement, especially when considering the fact that its source has never been officially released.

> A normal user should use an AV software even on **Linux **(it is just that normal people don't use **Linux**), just like people who don't use AV on **Windows** usually are fools or programmers. I just meant that, people like the guy who said I am an idiot for not being able to tell if my program was a virus, was speaking out his arse, when virus detection is not perfect and not every programmer would even want to test their software on every AV. Keep your baseless rhetoric to yourself. The fact that most viruses target the Windows operating system is due to it having the largest presence. If I were writing malicious software, I would certainly develop for the system with the most users.

You're sacrificing CPU time for bandwidth; don't forget that that isn't free.

Updated the thread information.

I nominate Sekaru.

A few screenshots that I took today.  

> What about Solar Engine? Solar Engine is reserved for Schlong Man.

The Github Repository is now up! You can find it [here](https://github.com/JohnLamontagne/Lunar-Engine). I will update this thread regarding the contribution requirements soon. For now, I will not accept any requests to merge code into the main branch. Regards, John

Bump. I'm still working on this.

Bye.

> Lunar will happen, just not by General Awesome. It's not in the expected updates for now. Have fun with that.

Orgasmic as always.

> I updated my first chapter, working on chapter 2 later. :) Any idea on what exactly chapter 2 will be?

This is the best Eclipse project that I've seen in a long time. If you ever need any help, let me know.

> It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I've enjoyed the last eight plus years being part of the Eclipse community, but I regretfully must be leaving. > > > > I'll remember the good laughs, talking with other people about making games, playing games, music, art and just about everything. I've learned some valuable stuff from some amazing people here. And I thank you. > > > > The reason I'm leaving, is because I feel like I've outdone my stay here. I'm 31 now, and I don't feel like I fit with the hipper crowd ahead of me. Plus, I also feel like Eclipse is more centered around programmer friend cliques, and holds little for the artists. We get to talk to eachother about our artwork, but get very little recognition (not unlike the real world) unless we're professional. (A standard that artists don't hold programmers to, ironically) > > > > In the end, I hope this place all the best. And I hope you all learn to learn from eachother, instead of competing. The community can be a productive platform for people who like to make games if you work at it. > > > > Regards, > > Murdoc Damn. With all due respect to everyone else, Murdoc is one of the best guys that I've met on this website, and probably one of the best friends I've made online as well. We've had disagreements here and there, but we've usually gotten along rather well. He's definitely helped me out a lot; after all, he's the only artist I've really been able to work with. I'll still be able to talk to him through Skype, but I definitely hate to see him leave Eclipse. With that said, I'm definitely going to have to agree with Murdoc's statement regarding the lack of artists on this website. I've already reached out to Wing about possibly encouraging growth in that area. It's definitely something we need to work on this year – New Year's resolution, anyone?

> yes I concur.

Please vote yes.

It appears as though we won.

Perhaps we can setup a Tinychat for members that don't have plans?

Very fun website.
