What are you working on? V4 (HTML ISN'T PROGRAMMING) - Developers

[QUOTE=Benjy355;17971614]I just finished making a nasty-looking Tic-Tac-Toe for my programming class, the other 2 kids in my grade-level used VB... I used XNA :smug: I don't like coding competitive AI.[/QUOTE] Aha, i did that too once, my AI sucked as hell.

Although that's kind of hard in Tic-Tac-Toe without the player noticing I guess.

That's why İ wanted to make sure.[/QUOTE] That's the difference between knowing a language and being a good programmer.

Can' t wait for C++ next year.

Toasting from my new LG XENON :smug:. It can barely handle facepunch. We need a mobile page. The bus broke down this morning, or now, and we had to wait 44 minutes for another bus to come.

[QUOTE=Spoco;17972308]Well, don't wait?[/QUOTE] You don't know how much I want to learn C++ but I can't because having a person like a teacher teach me is so much easier then me reading a book. Which I dont like to do btw.

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;17972928][highlight]You don't know how much I want to learn[/highlight] blah blah blah [highlight]Which I dont like to do btw.[/highlight][/QUOTE] Which is it? You're not going to learn without putting some effort into it.

[QUOTE=jA_cOp;17972937]Which is it? You're not going to learn without putting some effort into it.[/QUOTE] I agree. But reading a book is hard for me. I am not the best reader in the world and when I do I get bored very qucikly. When I am at school it is much easier because we have someone who can explain shit when we don't know what to do.

There is a channel on irc.gamesurge.net connected with this subforum; #fpcoders.

She gives us the basic understanding and I pretty much get most of it.

Just going make some more stuff up for my hacking game.

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;17973161]And that is what my thecher does. She gives us the basic understanding and I pretty much get most of it.[/QUOTE] At that point, your impression of your understanding would be quite inflated. You would believe you know 'most of it', though realistically it would be close to 'barely anything'. When you think you know all the necessary information, you don't. You only know what you know, so you don't know about the other things there are to know, making you believe there is nothing left for you to know. I had learnt C++, and I believed there was nothing left to learn. I soon discovered (via ##C++@freenode.net) that there was plenty of other stuff to learn. i.e: more advance template semantics, perks of inheritance, floating-point operation troubles, etc. [b]Never[/b] think there is nothing left to know. This will only prevent you would learning more. There is always more to learn.

You should check them out. [url]http://headfirstlabs.com/books.php[/url]

And when you don't know what to do, I guarantee you that there's another person that has had the same problem and has already posted it on the internet and has gotten a solution. Google is your friend.

I have learned so much just by messing around and fucking something up then googling the error and finding out why I fucked up and how to fix it and improve. Google is a wondrous thing.

Learning Java, and I don't see why people think it's really hard. I find it [b]kind of[/b] easy. I made a simple Rock Paper Scissors game. [img]http://imageflock.com/img/1256312100.png[/img] [img]http://imageflock.com/img/1256312109.png[/img]

[QUOTE=The Inzuki;17973718]Learning Java, and I don't see why people think it's really hard.[/QUOTE] I don't think there's a particular consensus that Java is hard.

[QUOTE=jA_cOp;17973757]I don't think there's a particular consensus that Java is hard.[/QUOTE] The only reason why I find it hard is that I can't find any decent tutorials on it. I just want to learn the basics of 2D games, but Google is as much help as YouTube. I might ask my dad if he'll take me out to Barnes and Nobles to buy a Java Game Programming book, but I don't know what would be the best.

[QUOTE=The Inzuki;17973830]But I already know enough Java to do simple stuff, I want to start 2D programming :v:[/QUOTE] If you know the Java programming language, making use of 2D graphics libraries is a simple matter of looking at the documentation for that library and making use of examples to get the big picture. Although you'll probably find tutorials too, there won't be tutorials for everything you'll want to do. You're supposed to be able to make use of libraries without having a tutorial for it. (Although a good tutorial is always helpful for going into more detail on the library than examples do)

[QUOTE=ZeekyHBomb;17973897][url]http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/index.html[/url] ?[/QUOTE] Should've guessed Java had a standard library for 2D graphics :)
