Re: Impeach Obama

Helping others is a good thing, I think we can all agree on that. One of the most important things about helping others, is to make sure you are in a good position to do so. You have to take care of yourself in order to be able to help others properly. That said, it should be fairly obvious that Ame...

Re: I was living in disparity

I don't get it. This is general discussion, anything should be allowed here. If you don't like what Sparky is saying, don't read it maybe? check the thread to see what it's about, if it doesn't interest you don't read the damn thing, and for god's sake don't comment on it.

Problem solved.

Steam names?

Seeing as how many people have and play games on steam, I thought it might be useful to have a collection of people's steam names, maybe we could even make an MGM group on steam for people to join? We'll see how much interest there is in this first I suppose.

Anyway, mine's hx239. Add me if you like.

Re: Beginner website for programming: scratch.mit.edu

This is pretty cool. I remember some friends and I were going to make a game out of this same concept, but unfortunately we never got the approval on the project.

Re: What's up guys?

You can manage Unity's GC to a certain extent if you know Unity really really really well. Basically you have to know exactly how every single thing you make or do is interperetted and handled by Unity, and know when/how to do things that will cause garbage. It's profiler is amazing, however it ofte...

Re: What's up guys?

I would agree with most of what you said waev, minus grouping c++ in with c# and java. It is a lower level language than them, and you have far more control over what you are doing. For examplle, not being able to directly handle garbage collection or memory allocation is a huge issue to me in games...

Re: What's up guys?

I'm well aware of the benefits of higher level languages, it's just tough for me to handle. My first real language was c++, and when that's what you're used to, languages that require you do declare something to NOT be global, or don't even have different variable types, or rely on whitespace instea...

Re: What's up guys?

halo CE was my favorite of the series in terms of combat, mainly because I could just use the sniper or pistol and it wasn't too bad =p

Re: What's up guys?

I've never used obj-c. My main languages are c++ and c#, i know a little javascript, python, and c, and am in the process of learning lua. I also don't own a mac anymore - I sold it a month ago to my ex's brother, so I won't be able to help with with anything mac specific. And more importantly, I ne...

Re: What's up guys?

Yea, and to be honest lua is pretty fucking easy to use. I've already written the menu states, movement, some of the sound effects, etc and I only have like 400 lines of code. My biggest challenge with it so far has been getting used to not having an update loop to play with, and getting used to the...

Re: What's up guys?

Sure, that could be cool. I literally started using corona and lua like 3 days ago, so I don't know if they'd really be interested in my help haha.
