  1. Well, I have never really liked GM because it didn't seem like you were really doing what you had to to make a game. It felt like there was a little person inside your computer slaving away writing the code for you while you just point-and-click away. So I perfer C++ because you are doing alot more and you get more of a sense of satisfaction.
  2. I really wish their was a edit post button but oh well. If you want to you can also post on my forums if you are intrested in this position. Ravine Production Forums
  3. I have a couple of friends that want to step into the world of game development and make a small game. We want to make games for the experiance, not really the money. But we lack a few postions. We need a 3d modeller and another c++ programmer. The requierments are: You have to be under 20, not be a professional in the language, and willing to learn alot. Also you can't be lazy. So as you can see this is a learning experiance. Just post, PM, or e-mail me.
  4. Well as I have said I have not really used DarkBASIC but I have used Blitz3D. I found Blitz3d very easy to learn and very powerful. I do not know which is more expensive but I really liked Blitz3D. I vote for that one.
  5. I looked at DarkBasic and they seem very similar. Blitz to me was very easy to learn and had enormous potential. You could do basically anything with it. I just wish I had saved the files that I had been working on. I had a battle engine going and a few other things. So yes Blitz is a good buy.
  6. Thank you. You understand the word anything. I would try it out but I do not have dark basic. But this is what this topic is for. But, one suggestion for next time. Use the BBCode your code here Thx! Keep it up guys. I'll post some of my stuff. Uhh, woops. I lost all my Blitz stuff when I reinstalled Windows. I guess when I learn C++ I'll post some stuff.
  7. I have to go with a desktop. I love doing vanity mods to my desktops, florescent lighting, coloring my watercooling system with dye, adding side windows, putting an led light behind my case badge, you know anything to look cool. Those are some things that are really hard to do with a laptop, I mean there isn't much you can do to mod your laptop at all, and I don't like to be limited in what I do. Also when I run alot of 3d intensive programs, and... lets face it you cant fit a huge video card in a laptop. Some people need a laptop for small size, but I have the extra room and I need the extra performance!
  8. Most people who are big cs fan's started playing it when it first came out. I only started playing when i got my new computer and got Half Life 2. My friends urged me to play 1.6 and said that it was much better. I love Source... but 1.6 doesnt do anything for me. There seem to be way more people with aimbot, and I think source just runs smoother and looks way nicer. Another reason that I am liking source is because that I play Halo 2 and bungie pisses me off. I mean Valve comes out with updates and new maps once a month... sometimes more! Bungie on the other hand, just sits there and almost never comes out with new updates.
  9. The only reason you people think that AMD's are better than Intel's is because you were told that from a thousand people, and the only reason those people believe that AMD's are better is because *BLEEP* so called gaming computers like alienware rip you off by giving you an AMD. Causing people to think WOW if all these 5,000 + dollar computers use AMD than they must be good proccesors. So I will compare the numbers for you and let you decide which one is better! WOW don't even talk about power PC! Intel P4 EE AMD Athlon 64 FX-55clock speed 3.73 GHz 2.6GHzsocket 478 LGA 939 L1 data cache 8K 64KL1 instruction cache 12K 64K L2 data cache 512K 1MBL3 data cahce 2MB N/ASystem bus speed 1,066MHZ 400MHzHyper threading YES NO64 Bit YES YESMaximum memory adressability 64G 1TB# of transistors (millions) 178 105.9I think this is a pretty good comparison. Both CPU's are powerhouses and will both run anything you ask them to without a problem. Both Intel and AMD are the best processor's out their, and with new technologies coming out like dual core processors It's hard to keep up with who is best. I admit that Intel's most powerful processor might cost about 200 more, so AMD might be your choice. If you want to see a full comparison take a look at EXTREME TECH magizine ( the one that shows you how to mod an atari I don't know what month) they even compare some prcessors most people don't know about like power pc and via technologies.
  10. No explanation = anything. I am not limting this to anything. You can post any code snippets you want.
  11. Yeah I partioned it I think I gave windows about a fourth of the drive.
  12. Muhahaha! Nevermind about that one boys I fixed it myself. All I did was reinstall it but made it copy the cd's to my hd. I'm running Linux right now. I feel so... powerfull.
  13. OK now I have installed Mandrake but when I restart my computer it says NTLDR Missing.I'm thinking something like "WTF?"
  14. Thx, I booted it from the dvd that I burend and it seems like it is working fine.
  15. Hey, I just finished downloading the Mandriva Linux DVD iso and mounted it. After I mounted it I clicked the install button. I was felling all happy because I finally downloaded the 2gig file. But after I clicked the button nothing happened. I just sat and waited. Soon I started kicking my computer, but thats a whole other story. Can anyone help me out, I really want to get Linux working.
  16. Wow thats pretty good, I like the lighting on the face and the font looks sooo kick *bottom*.
  17. I am currently learning c++ to develop games. I have this book Heres a link I was thinking of getting theese two books: Heres a link and this one: Link here Are they worth it, because I dont want to spend $50 on some crap books.
  18. Hmmmmm, noone seems intrested? Well i guess this can be deleted then.
  19. A couple of my friends did the freeipods site and they got their ipods. I was really amazed but I'm to taly to get all the referalls. *sigh* I wish I wasnt so lazy.
  20. I always have had top notch gpu's and the reason that I need them is not for gaming. Although I do play games occasionally the main reason I need alot of memory on my gpu is for modeling games. Ohh... and by the way Half Life 2 was made using 512 so it actually looks better when your have that much memory on your gpu. +
  21. Wow, that made me thik in a whole new way. Us being "virtual machines" of God follows the Christian belief; We are all images of God. It could be possible. I guess we will never know till we die, then we can tell no one that dose'nt know. Is'nt that a bummer? The thing about a soul is that it cannot be explained. It is what you think it is, nothing more. So you could say, no one has a similar soul.
  22. This is the topic where everyone can add their two-bits to this game in progress. I said in my last topic that this might be a good idea so we will see how it goes. A link to that topic is here. I can't really start the code right now because I am at my grandparents house using a Mac. So if anyone wants to start it, be my guest.
  23. Can you believe that Microsoft is thinking about making Longhorn a yearly fee software. I think this is a horrible idea.http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us There is a link to the discussion. I would hate for Longhorn to be like this and loose Microsoft so many customers. You can read my post on there if you like, It'll be signed -Brandon Hall. That post states my oppinion about this. I can't find where the poll button is so just post Yes or No.
  24. Ahh, I don't know how to edit my posts so here it goes.PHP is a scripting language, I got HTML and it mixed up. HTML is a mark-up language.
  25. How can you yell on an online forum. There is no possible way unless you are speaking. Dictionary.com's definition of yell: To cry out loudly, as in pain, fright, surprise, or enthusiasm. Yes, I could see someone yelling at an oral forum. Meaning a place to openly discuss topics by speaking. I knew you would need help with that one. Now explain to me how to do that with text. Or next time choose your words more carefully. Thank you. P.S. Before you say you can speak on this forum, look it up.
