What are you working on? V3 - Developers

[QUOTE=The Inzuki;17515467]I can't think of any site ideas. Besides, I can only think of an image board, but who will use it? :c[/QUOTE] Tis what I have, I just write pointless, empty sites till I find something that works. xD Practice is good, who cares who uses it, it's what you learn that counts, always even if you are making millions.

By the way you have the wrong spelling for Alcohol, you wrote Alocohol.

Okay so, i'm in a programming class in school. We're learning turing, and it's easy as shit. Any programming languages that I could build a game, windows program with? [editline]06:54PM[/editline] I also know quite a few of the languages, C++ is too hard to start off, but I don't know what I should use.

Thanks, I've read that already, but I didn't remmeber anything. I'll go with CSharp.

[QUOTE=jaybuz;17515382]Don't use tables for layout and too big.[/QUOTE] Name one thing that's wrong about using tables for layout, especially if it's designed to work on only one browser? A lot of big sites do it, like DeviantArt for example.

[QUOTE=Diaklu;17512220]Switched to use a Tree view instead since the other control was getting glitchy. Squatted a load of bothersome bugs and added some new things. Gradient is also a bit shinier. [img]http://img.loldepot.com/6fff0a46b627fc9dbd76.png[/img] I'd better start working on the package manager.[/QUOTE] I really like some of those GUI elements. What language/libraries are you using?

Progress on my 3D engine: + Changed movement to arrow keys + Wall collision + Sky + Jumping + Minimap [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV8g1FspF5o[/media]

Sweet Looking. I love this thread.

that's cool

[QUOTE=Fridgetor;17516077]Thanks, I've read that already, but I didn't remmeber anything. I'll go with CSharp.[/QUOTE]On most indie games you can use pretty much any language as long as you don't write a renderer or something using BASIC. Use pre-existing libraries and engines for that kind of thing and you can write most games in just about any language as long as their not meant to be SUPERHIGHPERFORMANCE. [editline]04:14PM[/editline] But if you do plan on writing your own graphics/physics etc, use a language like C.

[QUOTE=VoiDeD;17516103]I really like some of those GUI elements. What language/libraries are you using?[/QUOTE] I'm not as good as any of you real programmers so I use AutoPlay Media Studio, Which means it's in Lua. It's a Tree object with an image list, everything else is Shapes, Images and Buttons.

Having problems with character widths. Anyone know of any way around it: [img]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5358/rogue2l.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Wickedgenius;17518459]Having problems with character widths. Anyone know of any way around it: [img]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5358/rogue2l.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Use a fixed width font. Such as consolas, or monospace, or (pushing the limit here) Monaco.

[QUOTE=Chandler;17518630]Use a fixed width font. Such as consolas, or monospace, or (pushing the limit here) Monaco.[/QUOTE] Thank you. I have it loading the font name from an ini file and as a default it sets the font to arial if the ini file isn't found, so after deleting it because I had something else to add to it (it is automatically created if it's not found) it set it to arial. Definitely something to get rid of if I'm going to have problems. [editline]10:36PM[/editline] What is usually the tallest and widest letter in a font?

Not sure though memory is kinda on the wierd side with this.

[QUOTE=Wickedgenius;17518752]What is usually the tallest and widest letter in a font?[/QUOTE] i think W, if you only use the ASCII range...

Thanks for the answers but don't worry too much. I'll have to make it so only certain fonts can be used. I had thought of testing the sizes of the largest letters and then setting the spacing based on that but it would still look awful. Custom fonts are out of the window.

I need a site idea, hopefully it can relate to Facepunch :v:

[url]www.captainface.com[/url] Your prime site for Facepunches, Falcown Pawnches, and Captain Falcon's Rugged arse Stubble. Oh and also a separate site away from the Out It'll Find You people for us Programmers.

'bugspray' - that's a really genius name

[QUOTE=qurl;17520764]Is that still made in flash or have you started porting it?[/QUOTE] That's the full engine I believe.

[QUOTE=Robber;17520898]Doesn't work. It says it can't find the domain.[/QUOTE] thats the point

[QUOTE=Robber;17520898]Doesn't work. It says it can't find the domain.[/QUOTE] Exactly, that means it's open to use >.>

I could live with that. [editline]11:41PM[/editline] Right now I'm working on a remote Game Server manager with C#. I don't have anything to show you guys besides code.
