Pfft. Real geeks code an application which automatically refreshes the page every 5 seconds then tweets/sms's/im's them when an update happens.

Hello all! I am a hobbyist coder and gamer. I have been programming for two to three years. I have built anything from simple calculators to touchscreen applications for prototype applications for POS computers. Now it is time to build a game engine from scratch. Originally, I was just going to make this a single platform (windows) project only, but due to some technological advances and some additional funds, it will be produced for Linux as well as Mac. My game engine is going to be a simple 2D engine designed for tile-based rpgs, platformers, and RTS games. I should be able to create duplicates of "Zelda: A Link to the Past", any Mario game, and "Starcraft" type games. The engine will be written in Java and will use Lua scripts for higher level scripting (adding new gameobjects, scenery, npc's, etc). This will be the first of many posts for this engine. Goals: Here is a list of features besides the aforementioned that I wish to accomplish: Custom Tile-sheet Loading Custom Zipping and Compression algorithms Eventual Multi-player Support with custom chat server Mobile Porting Multi-platform Lua Support The engine will output graphics to a canvas so it can be added to a JFrame or an Applet. I plan on creating a custom Applet loader similar to the Runescape Loader. This Loader will load scripts, graphics, etc, while showing progress and inform you of what it is doing. When I get to a playable point, will add a link to a page in which anyone can test my applet. My code will be obfuscated with some custom hand-work and professional obfuscation as well so it will be very, very difficult to reverse engineer my code. I would like to thank anyone who will support me for this project and I highly appreciate it.

After many hours of coding, I have come up with the answer to life: [hide=answer to life] life == null; [/hide] jk I am trying to get c++ down. I am purchasing "Sam's teach yourself c++ in 21 days". It is a book in which I have the Java version of, which I still use to lookup certain things I can't 100% remember. I bought 5 cases of Mountain dew voltage to get me through some serious deving.

The day everyone becomes mature on Runescape is when it will end.

This belongs in Tech and Computers FYI. What is your Operating System and Java version?

WSAD > click-to-move. That would fix that right there.

I would suggest looking into books and hobby electronics. Building little model kits of remotes and whatnot will help you get the hands on experience and books will teach you more in depth information.

They all pretty much die out since it is not officially ran by Tip.It.

I am doing more work on a previous 2d tile rpg engine I started awhile back. My new inspiration came from the video series: "Adventures in Game Development" by the youtube user "Gyrovorbis". I am going to make my engine capable of doing platform games like Mario, rpgs like older Zelda's, and RTS like starcraft.

Perhaps there will be new options like: "Show My hits" "Show Icons" "Show others' hits" "Use old hits" "make pointless rants" This should cater to most of the people who play.

How is that even possible? :???: Its like being Lactose intolerant, only with water. It happens to very few people.

Water gives me nuclear-explosive diarrhea and makes me puke. I've tried cutting down other drinks but it doesn't help.

Grats Saru :D I was promoted as well. I am now store assistant manager. Basically I get paid more and do less crap. Too bad I am quitting here in 3 weeks :/ I am putting in my two week notice in a few days. We had someone buy 40 nuggets, eat them, come in, tell us they were too cold, and requested more for free. This same lady has done similar acts so she is put on our official blacklist for returned products. I start college on September 22. I am anxious, yet dreadful of the day.

Those people piss us off more than anything else. If you are going to make a false complaint, at least grow a pair and talk to us face to face. Hell, I'd give you the food for having the balls/ovaries to make a false complaint. Speaking of work. I do not work for over 24 hours for once. We started serving Triple Cheeseburgers today. We sold around 1100 of those between the changeover to lunch and 8PM. We sold nearly 1400 Big macs as well. I hate my job. Now its time to kill and tbag noobs on Halo 3.

Oh dear god, hopefully that monkey doesn't get warts.

I just got home from work a couple of hours ago. I am scheduled to go in at 9 AM, but I might see if I can come in two hours later and stay two hours later. I am already 12 hours into overtime and I am supposed to work 9 more today. I am going to quit work in a month at McD's and go back to Best Buy as a second shift manager, always working the same hours and getting paid more. Tomorrow is going to be hell. There is a concert at the local convention center, a football game in the town 20 miles away, and it is buy-one-get-one free Big Mac day.

I hate my job, my family, Obama, the United States, and water. After College, I want to move out of the United States. I want to move to Europe. I can't stand it here. Everyone is so greedy and stuck up. I felt more compassion and friendliness from people in London in 5 minutes than I have ever felt in America my whole life.

The first problem is you have Vista. The second sounds like your telephony service is not started. Go to your services area (Window key +R > then type in "services.msc" > Restart/start telephony. Try that.

Just got in from work. Got Halo 3 and some audio connectors on the way home. Stopped at the gas station to take a piss and this stocking guy dropped several cases of Monster energy drinks (Green and red) so I got 16 cans of Monster for free :).

He should;ve used protect from range like obama did with those shoes.

My level 30 Hunter has an attack cat. [/wow joke] Today I have work off. Its a mw2 and spend $$ on newegg day.

Just got a 360 elite. My dad has no idea yet. It is sitting in my car. When he leaves to go get beer in a few I will get it out and hide it in sis's room. I bought mw2 and oblivion with it. I also bought a charge and play kit and a hd vga adapter so I can hook it to my second computer monitor.

Just got a 360 and this game. Now it is sounding like it sucks. Should I return it?

Just got in from work. Time to work on my Game Engine. I want to create my own scripting language, but for now I am going to use LUA. I am making a single player 2d orpg. It is not going to be multiplayer until a future update, but I will store networking functions in the code. I might start doing dev blogs on youtube to show progress + some coding I don't know. I like watching gyrovorbis's game dev videos. I wish I had a group of people who would work with me. I just noticed that I have 1.5TB of fraps and xfire clips of rs, combat arms, and wow. Off to eat my 4 McChicken's with tomato and shredded lettuce then spend 12 hours on my game engine ooo Payday is tomorrow. Lets see what 87 hours of work (in two weeks) brings in.
