Everyone knows that I outrank all of you plebs.

Crest and I will hopefully have some information regarding the new engine out for you guys soon. Sit tight and prepare yourselves for a bright new future for all Eclipsians!

Looks like you're putting a fair amount of effort into this. Keep it up.

> It's all ogre now, fgts Prepare your dark hole for my onion juice.

Bah, humbug.

I'm happy to see that you guys are still working on this.

Bottom portion isn't too bad, but the top portion has to go.

Meh.

They see me rolling - they hating. When Marsh buys the site, I really hope someone unbans me from the shoutbox, otherwise I might have to smash a bottle over someone's head.

> Kid joined the Navy? I always imagined him to be butt-pirate material.

> Dont use XNA. Its a poorly made WRAPPER for Direct X, Microsoft is the makers and dropped it because THEY felt it was garbage and a waist of time… so what does that tell you? Lol'd.

I've been looking to teach someone as practice for an actual tutoring service that I'm thinking about starting at my university. If you're interested, contact me via PM.

You guys are mentally handicapped.

oi m8 stahp usin tht l33t speek b4 i shuv a bottle of rum up yer butt.

> hi mohenjo daro i understand ur point. obv if u want 2 make a simple game u can use an engine with a powerful editor like game maker, but even the most powerful visual editing systems, like unreal engines kismet or bukkits variabletriggers wont let u implement everything u want 4 ur game. they r interfaces 2 programming, which is just like learning 2 speak without learning 2 write, c? > > > > obv if ur 1 artist ur 1 step ahead 2 create games, id very like 2 b able 2 make my own assets but i dont have the patience to practice > > > > also dont start an argument ad hominem This is why we can't have nice things.

L33t Speak should be a bannable offense.

> Looks nice, good luck. Very constructive. I leik it.

Visual Basic 6 is pretty close to being in the public domain in my books, there's really no reason to play hardball on it. Microsoft has dropped the software, there's no reason you need to defend my morality based upon it. > > > > Look at all those game systems that people make now and sell. The companies don't care. Know why? The consoles are outdated and not worth their time to sue over. Everything goes into the public domain. Nothing is excluded. No idea or concept is forever owned. I really don't care what your opinion is on the software. This distribution is illegal and needs to be taken down.

> Yeah? Microsoft has changed its practices, they don't care anymore about it. They offer free versions for all their languages now. Do you honestly believe anyone here has a legal copy of Visual Basic 6? The language is not even sold anymore! Any sources that verify MS has released the VB6 IDE for free? No? Well, it's then still illegal.

This topic made me lol.

I'm up for it.

> Thanks for the replies guys but but one thing I am looking for is a language to start learning that already has a game engine to practice on that also offers a good amount of support. Someone has told me to try out Slick2D which is java I think. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? C# + XNA has a TON of support. Edit: Also, a friend of mine (Budweiser) recommended that you check out _Visual C# 2012 Step by Step _by John Sharp.

> Oh okay, well then I think we both misunderstood each other lol >.< I never said it was more difficult, I was just saying that jumping into programming/tutorials is going to be a lot more work than reading a book about design patterns. Practicing includes implementing these patterns, etc… Ah, that makes sense.
