maybe you should explain your problem, you talk in general, what's the problem, what's not working, what's the error, tell more and people will reply

ok here it is, change i-- to n--, that wasn't so hard man

my bad

change -- to ++

Casanova: that's true.Depends on what you do.If you want to run all those programs just install Crossover Office

Hi!Linux is nice but I like Unix more.I don't know why but I'm simply inlove with BSD.I use FreeBSD with Gnome as my Desktop system (mostly for my parents) and NetBSD with IceWM as my, hmm, everyday system.I also have RedHat and WindowsME installed on my laptop.Oh, someone mentioned viruses.Hmm...It's really hard to create a virus for unix/linux since everything comes in source.Why NetBSD?Well, becase it's so small (around 300Mb with additional software installed) and easy to use (don't know, I just feel that way).I have total control over my system unlike in windows.I know exactly what programs are running and can kill any process i want with no problems such as 5min waiting then popup window asking are you sure blabla then if I get lucky I don't get to see blue screen.Next.I have everything!From compilers, servers to image and text processors.All for free! No viruses. no spyware, no crashing, everything is just beautiful.It's probably hard for unix/linux beginners to just switch from windows to the true os but after a while you will be glad you did it.Windows does everything automaticly (installing,...) but here you have to do almoast everything manualy and this is the beauty of it.You get to know the system and your computer, how it works, how it does what and why it does it. By every step/thing/callITwhatYOUwant you make in unix you learn something new, you are enriched with new experience and this is what truely matters.Some of you may think I am crazy, but those who run *nix systems know what I'm talking about.Life free or die!

NetBSD (favourite), OpenBSD, Solaris

Hi all,let me say that most of you don't have any idea how to make games!I started reading this thread and...I stopped after reading the first page...It is NOT true that you can't make real games in C++ and it is NOT true that you can only make cheap games with C++!!!All of games made today are written in C++ (some use a combination of assembly) with graphical libraries such as DirectX, OpenGL, Allegro...I cannot imagine a Half-Life2 game written in Visual Basic or Delphi because it would need at least 3GH box with 1GB RAM and super fast 256Mb DDR Radeon to run smoothly (and would be restricted to Windows platform).That's why people use C++.Because it's fast, portable and has plenty of other features.Want to make 'real' games?Don't use Visual Basic or DelphiDon't use RPG makers or such programsLearn C/C++Learn OpenGLLearn DirectXRead alotAsk questionsTry it yourselfStart now!Don't set high goals.You won't be able to make UT2010, GTA5...start with little projects.Make pong, tetris, move on to bigger projects, make 2d games then learn 3d programming...People want to make games.The know little or nothing of computer programming.They are so excited about this that they ofter forget about the most important thing.PATIENCE.They download some pre-made 3D engines, games templates and start 'making' games.With no programming skills they realize that they can't do anything really so they quit.They are angry, mad and sad because all they ever wanted was to make a game and they failed.They feel loozers.They think they will never be able to make a real game so they quit for good.You have to be PATIENT.Don't expect to learn programming over night.People learn all their lives.Be humble.Start with little things.Make tetris clone.Be proud.This makes me sad, because alot of people have potencial to become good game designers but they often quit before they even start.I'm not proffesional game developer but I will be happy to help anyone who wants to get into the bussiness.Ask questions, I'm sure there are people here who know alot about this.I don't know all answers, but I will try to reply.Happy coding!Daniel Vukadinovic
