Suggestions & Requests / Submit Your DM/CTF Build

« on: May 18, 2008, 02:51:37 AM »

Hello, I'd like to feature 3-6 DM/CTF builds in a mod I am working on.

Please no one person submit multiple builds and multiple versions of the same build.

THE BUILD MUST BE SAVED ON SLATE other maps may cause problems for the time being.

The build doesn't have to be super fancy, but functional and relatively fun.

I will decide which 3-6 builds will be featured and you will know if your build was featured in the end product.

To submit just upload the save to mediafire or if it is small enough attach it to your post.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Everyone hates on runescape, but have you really even played it and got into the game? And face for being someone who is playing a lego game and saying "are we 10?" well thats an understatement.

Doesn't matter which way you swing at this pitch, Lavish has a point.

Java is not similar to C#...

I beg to differ:

Java:

Code: [Select]

class HelloWorld
{  
        public static void main()
        {
           System.out.println("Hello World!");
        }
}

C#:

Code: [Select]

using System; public
class HelloWorld	
{
        public static void Main()
        {
                Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
        }
}

Plus, Java and C# both support generics the same way, have the same typing system (basically, everything is treated like a reference, in C++ terms, and you create instances with 'SomeClass obj = new SomeClass();), etc.

Give an example of C++ when writing that same script please.

"Got a Torque Script problem? Ask here."

I think this goes in Off-Topic.


Anyway, I'm trying to learn a bit of C++ too.

I don't think this goes into Off-Topic, it is pretty on topic with coding, no it's not asking for help with a direct question to coding it's asking for someone else to learn with/ learn off of. Indirect help.

C# is only object-oriented (everything must exist within a class - there's no such thing as a global variable or a free function in C#). Also, C# isn't portable like C++ (it was designed by microsoft).

Like I said, it's a lot more like Java.

C++ is cross-platform, it's "multi-paradigm" (supports OOP and procedural programming like C), and it supports better generic programming.

Depending on the direction you want to go with your game programming, Microsoft wanted to take C++ and fix what was wrong with it.

Java is not similar to C#, Java is similar to .NET. Again Microsoft took what Sun made with Java and vastly improved it.

Portability, C# is yet in it's infancy but it will take hold eventually, no big gaming industry wants to waste millions of dollars on a program they aren't sure of just yet.

However with C# you could say, make a game for .NET and also have it play on a console that supports the code such as the Xbox-2.

Using C# means you can only program for Microsoft's .NET framework. If you are interested in programming for more than one operating system or want to work on larger projects of developers, learning C++ would probably be a better way to go.

Is that really true?

Because C# is the most recent language of the C-series I thought it would work but if that's true I will have to learn two languages :\.

Space Guy add me on MSN I'll pm you.

You really shouldn't see C# as a part of the C-series. The C-series would be B -> C -> C++ -> D (to some extent). C# was built by Microsoft specifically for the .NET framework, and isn't a superset of C++. I'd really recommend learning C++ instead of C#.

From what I learned the same script can be written with C++ ( for example the "Hello world" script) a lot shorter than C# but the similarities are there.

Of course I won't limit myself to just C# I intend to learn other languages but I think it would be in good taste for me to start with C# and work my way into other languages such as C++.

Hello, if anyone is currently learning C# or has already learnt most of the fundamentals I'd gladly like to discuss it with you.

I have just started studying C#, and yes this is my first programming language. It's always fun to have a study buddy or someone to help guide you through those tough parts.

Just p.m me your email address, I use MSN but if you use another type of messenger I'll try to accommodate the best I can.

I refuse to use SharpDeveloper because of how complicated it is for a beginner such as myself.

If you use Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition that would make things run smoother but I'm sure any IDE designed for C# would work both ways when compiling.

Lastly, if by through the forums you have a bad reputation, you wasted your time reading this, I'm not about to add someone that all I know is is that you piss people off.

Anyways thanks, hope to see people interested in C#.

Jeez, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I am lazy, and the project wasn't designed to be beautiful, it was designed to be practical for deathmatches. It was an experiment that ended up appealing to a lot of people. I don't enjoy being cranky and sounding like one of the kids that post shoddy things and can't take criticism, BUT, I did not post the topic for it to be rated or told how to make it better. The project has been abandoned, and I won't be around Blockland very soon, so your comments are redundant.

OH dear god, I sound so much like the creatures in this forum. You've all infected me! :(

Quitter.

In my opinion it looks like neither of them. I take that back, the pokemon and that helicopter look highly similar.

I think it's funny how everyone has based their non-noob ideology on grammar.

It's nice that you can form sentences but that doesn't make you punctuate.

I'm not a noob because I just called out 80% of blockland players on this aspect alone.
