Exception Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 OK, so can somebody answer my question:> Also, question, howcomes VB6 and C# is fine (Deprecated and .NET regardless, respectively), yet VB.NET isn't?I don't have a problem with it, but really, it doesn't ultimately make sense.

They're both .NET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had in mind all major languages at the time. Added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exception Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 OK, cool. I'll probably end up doing a prototype in VB.NET, and port that to C#. See how well that goes.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaaron Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 > What about Flash can we add flash to this list to cause I could make this a mean game in flash Will there be some way of viewing the source code?The whole point of the contest is not only to make a fun virtual pet, but to have good, clean, and optimized code.

Xtrea Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Of cource. I could send in the source files zipped up in a rar and you could open the project in FlashDevelop (Free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Mrsh, you want to judge the C/C++ submissions? Only person I know that is intermediate+ in either, unless Elliott can get Stephan to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroEBrown Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 As a courtesy, here is an example of what it should be capable of.Note: I only used 376 lines of code, in C++ no less, so you should be able to do quite well with very little.Thanks,Aeroplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Why the languages you specified? Why not just let people use whatever?I'm debating whether or not I should make one, I don't really care about win8\. Maybe I'll just make one text based in python.

Maybe I'll just make one text based in python.The problem with supporting multiple languages is the fact that we have to find qualified judges to evaluate the source code of the entry. If anyone can step forward and say, "I can adequately judge this based on the evaluation rhetoric provided" then I see no problem with anyone using Python. So in the end, it's all up to who can judge it and if Aaron gives the go-ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 The reason those are specified are because easy languages such as BASIC and Python are just too easy to make something such as a virtual pet, that's why I didn't add them. Along with what Budwieser said too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Actionscript is actually pretty close to a programming language now a days. AS3 has more advanced techniques and is definitely harder to pick up then basic. For this type of game it shouldnt be very hard in any language. Though flash would definitely be the easiest to get graphics going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrea Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Very true march but Im drawing my graphics by hand to make up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
