rodney: You need help, son. Normal people don''t be acting this way.

Instead of coming here and asking all these non-sensical questions (just what the hell are you really trying to do anyway?), just pick up your favorite development tool (I don''t give a flying fuck which one, any Borland product will do) and start to use the damn thing. In time, all will become clear to you.

And by the way, moron, what part of "don''t make the same post repeatedly, and only post in one forum" didn''t you understand?

Down with Tiberia!

Dear lord..

I can remember reading this guys old posts when he started posting and being annoyed and pissed off after a while. But now I read this post.. I really feel sorry for the guy now.

There''s such a pathetic quality in the last line, "watch him create a game or two." The poor little guy just wants to know how to make games.

That said. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GO READ A BOOK OR SOMETHING. I seriously doubt anyone here learned how to program by farting out the names of a bunch of development tools over and over and spouting dialogs with "friends" who somehow have come into thousands of dollars worth of IDEs and compilers (all "LEGAL") and yet hasn''t put forth the time or effort to learn them or even what they do.

You will not make an emulator, a tetris clone, or a "Hello world" program until you sit down and start to learn. Stay away from the message board for at least a week or two while you begin to learn.

I think we all agree that it would be cool when you "could come here and just post questions about when I get stuck on running or writing code instead of posting questions about... {insert entire contents of previous post here}"

So please leave and come back when that time arrives.

Sly: In fairness it is possible to write a whole game in a day, I bet I''m not the only person non this board who in a fit of boardom wrote a clone of something like snake in a few hours...even so it must be bloody boring watching someone else programme a game...anyone for watching paint dry with me ?

Nekosion, you''re right I ought to stay in more and watch others code getting out into the fresh air and rowing so often must be just so bad for me

Oh heck, did I forget to chuck an obligitory insult at rodneyldixon in my last post ? damn...I just can''t decide on an insult...something along the lines of ''lamer'' seems to be fairly popular, so I''ll stick with that. LAMER
