[QUOTE=Chad Mobile;20874403]You're not understanding my post. I am capable of writing my own code, but some things I don't know how to do. When I asked one time, someone gave me code in a different language, and I didn't know what to do with it. Then they all flipped out and started screeching. I don't [B]want[/B] code to just copy and paste and do exactly what I want.
What I [B]do [/B]want is help. It isn't helpful to just say "use this" without telling me HOW to use it and WHY to use it. It's helpful to say, "This does this when you use it like this" because your explaining what it does, how to use it, and why.[/QUOTE]
Don't defend yourself against people who are pretentious fucks. Just ignore it.
That being said, Google your question first.

I was writing that at the same time.
Thanks for going through my thread history.
None of your teenage angst in the programming forum please and thank you ^

Back on topic:
What would be better:
Coding my own engine for FPS
Using a prebuilt engine.
(my [b]opinion[/b] alert)
Make a game, not an engine. You'll end up spending your time making features you might never use and have no real goal. If you plan a game you know exactly what you need and don't need.
If you wanna have an FPS in the end, a prebuilt engine.
If you're just looking for a next task, coding an engine is an interesting matter. You should have some knowledge about other engines though, so you know what capabilities they should have and useful algorithms that you should use.

I have to agree, I've wasted a lot of time making engines in the past. However I will add that if you're just going to dive right in to the game then you should at least have a plan and an idea of how everything will fit together.
How do you make graphics in Visual Basic
Define graphics.

I assume you mean using GDI+.

[QUOTE=zzaacckk;20913849]How do you make graphics in Visual Basic[/QUOTE]
Use one of the static methods of the System.Drawing.Graphics class.
You can also get the form's graphics by calling Form.CreateGraphics()

I saw you replied to my blog with the same response, but you clearly didn't get the use of my "engine". It's not there for a game I'm making, but any game, since they'll be coded in Lua by other people. Therefore I'll have to make every feature available.

I don't know you.. It's not just me who thinks logically.
Why is everyone so hostile?
Isn't this supposed to be a thread where you help or ask for help?
Why do people think that if they help someone the deserve a medal or something? If you try to help the guy (I'm talking about Chad Moblie) and he rejects your help than isn't it his problem? Why do you have the need to retaliate and prolong the stupid discussion?
Also, is you ask for help, someone takes their time to read your problem, come up with a solution and try to help you, don't you think that they at least deserve a thank you? Instead you spit in their face.
Everyone bitching about something... Jesus.
I know I don't have any right to tell you people what to do but I think you should all seriously consider what you do before you do it and start looking at what's wrong with you and not somebody else.
Because we programmers tend to be arrogant assholes.
I don't think that is a problem.
I always thought there is a difference between arrogance and egoism.
(That sentence probably sounded better in my head).
I think I'm quite arrogant myself but that doesn't mean I don't respect other people, let alone someone with more experience than me.

So are you... sigh... silly hypocrisy.
why you bein so hostile man?
This be the Internet, learn to be hostile or get out. :o
[QUOTE=layla;20917540]I don't know you.. It's not just me who thinks logically.[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about?
Nobody takes me seriously =P
hooking C++ up with DirectX or openGL.. shit never works for me :(
What specifically?
I should be able to help you with OpenGL; I just recently started a project with that ;)
Alternatively I can help you with DirectX.
-snip- not worth the trouble.
Well, I wanted to make an engine, because I need to actually build it all from scratch for my project, a rule for the project is I can't use anything actual engines, unless I can provide full source code.
