What a goddamn waste. He was a really great guy and he was going to go on to do great things. Really, though, anyone that knew him knew there was no way he was just gonna wither away peacefully at 80. RIP, Dan. My condolences to his family and the community.

@Simius: > java is the ideal export for cross-platform. C++ is the ideal export for performance. Im all for converting to another language, probably java for the compatibility. It also has its own 3D API, ill give it a look after 3.0 is completed. I'm gonna poke my head in here and say that Java, with the new VMs, has raw speed for operations comparable to C++ (can't remember source but it's out there somewhere). Use some of the very good OpenGL bindings avaliable for Java and it'll probably wind up being faster than VB6. Problem with all of this is that you have to pretty much rewrite the whole damn thing.

I can't leave you people for five minutes. Look at this place, the carpet is all stained and there's trash everywhere. And the bathroom is… I'm not going to talk about the bathroom. What do you have to say for yourselves?

THAT'S RIGHT FAG OOH, I WENT THERE YES I DID. *snap snap*

I'm looking for someone to work with who's talented with C# or similar (Java in particular is very similar to C#) and who is familiar with the principles of object - oriented design patterns: classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, etc. I'm not making a game, and you're not going to be part of a development team, but it always helps to have another pair of eyes look over your code. Anyone interested?

So here's an idea I'd like to do if there's interest. It would go like this - two people are selected to debate against each other (voluntarily of course). They are then given a suitable debate topic, and after both contestants agree the debate is over, one changes his viewpoint and agrees with the other, or a time limit is passed (1 week or something could be the max) the debate ends and the winner is decided by majority vote by the viewers. What do you guys think?

Taking everything into consideration - speed (although I think they're more or less even), syntax, style - which language, out of both, would you prefer to work with? (Doesn't neccessarily have to do with Eclipse)

I made this little quiz for a friend of mine and thought it would be fun to post it here. Cookie to anyone who gets it completely right (including the bonus). * * * What does the following function return? ``` Function foo(ByVal x as Long) As Long x = sqrt(x) End Function ``` What is the output of the following code: ``` Function foo(ByVal x as Long, ByVal y as Long) As Long If y = 1 Then foo = x Exit Function Else foo = foo(x + x, y - 1) End If End Function Debug.Print(foo(2, 4)) ``` Bonus points: What is the above function intended to do? For the next few questions, assume we have an array charArray(1 To 5) of single characters. The following code works, but why would you want to avoid it if you could? ``` Dim newString as String Dim char As String * 1 For Each char in charArray newString = newString & char Next ``` The following sub does not work as intended. Why? ``` Sub replaceWithA(ByVal aChar As String * 1) Dim i as Long For i = 0 To Len(charArray) If charArray(i) = aChar charArray(i) = "A" End If Next i End Sub ```

Without seeing a picture (if you have, don't post as it takes the fun out of it), describe what you think the member above you looks like in real life. Go.

I need to come up with a suitably witty Halo 3 name for multiplayer. Any ideas?

This topic has been moved to [Recruiting Center](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/smf/index.php?board=5). http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/smf/index.php?topic=18756.0 More of a recruitment topic than a topic about game design.

I'm cheating on Firefox. I switched to Opera. It's a little hard to get used to at first, but apparently it's more secure and it completely burns both FF and IE in terms of speed. It's also probably got more capabilities and features than Firefox and definetly than IE, but I haven't used everything.

What makes a good MMORPG stand out from its competition? Is it shiny graphics, good quests an easy interface, or other things? Discuss.

This is for discussing aspects of game design only. Questions about RTEs, VB, Sadscript, etc. and bug reports will be moved. I've made a new topic there to start it off. Edit: I swear if one more of you makes another "which would you rather have" thread I'm going to rip off your head and feed it to Draken.

Oh man, I know I am going to hell for laughing at this but it's so hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Lr70lwaVg

Pros of the new system: -Saves and loads quite a bit faster -More organized Cons: -May not be compatible with some scripts -Uneditable (directly, editor in the works) Bear in mind that if we go with this I'll have a character editor in the works so they will be editable.

Back and in full development mode. Demon X is working on his new "vbORCS" engine, but in the meantime I want to get a good solid EE release out. This means - near future! I'm aiming for later this month, but that depends on how I do shops. Stay tuned! Edit: I just realized how hypocritical it is to make a sticky and not even use it **yourself**. /slaps self.
