So, I'm doing a computer games development course. I like to program things but find most people are alien to the concept. So I thought I'd make a thread to post examples of ones work and generally talk about programming, maybe even help with school assignments! So, here's to get the ball rolling, here's a text based game I had to work on for my first year programming assignment. http://www.mediafire.com/?6ulqaaq5di33tpw We were given the base game with the command parser and a few locations and basically told to expand it with things like an item class and extra players. Feel free to ask about it.
I like to think I know enough of programming theory; Loops, arrays, variables, timers, returns etc. And I have some small experience in GUI trigger modding and Visual basic and PLC/Logic chip (Arbitary(?)) programming but I wouldn't call myself a programmer by heart - I don't have the desire to learn a language but I admire those who do and definitely think it's a field worth getting into, especially in this day and age.

Love programming. Used to do it all the time, especially making games. Can't see the game right now, because I'm in school. I'll look at it later. Edit; I know some HTML, a lot of GML (Though its a very simple language), and a bit of C++. Just a little, I should get more into it and learn it properly, it'd help with where I wish to go in life.
Heh, I'm quite the programmer, not an expert by any means, but have done a fair bit with it. I'm fluent in Visual Basic, C, C++, C#, Along with the DirectX and OpenGL IDEs. I'll be starting my Computer Science degree in less than a month, and am intending to go down the road of game development as a specialty. I'm wanting to move to England after my degree for work, seeing as New Zealand is very dry when it comes to IT stuff in general. Could make some games with ya Foxy
Thank ya kindly! I'm using that to work on other stuff now. I'll have to ad Foxy to it or something by way of thanks...
I program from time to time. My main three languages that I learn are Java, Python and Objective-C. Believe me, Objective-C is about as far from C as you can get. Hopefully I can program some software/games and put them on the Mac App Store for a bit of income.
Programming... Never tried it, I always felt it was way over my head. I'm guessing you need to be pretty decent at maths (which I most certainly am not) so that's always been a big turn-off for me. Although, I have heard it described as a language of sorts too. How similar is learning something like Java to learning, say, French? If linguistic talent is more beneficial than a knowledge of mathematics, I might be tempted to give it a shot.
I'm currently in college for programming. I'm in my last quarter before getting my associate's degree. I've worked with a lot of different languages, including Java. I took a look at it. I'm guessing it's still in the early stages of development as there's not much there. But it does seem to run alright and works well so far. =)
You can program without being good at maths won't lie it helps. Anyone can program. Its not about linguistic talent tbh, but all languages are based on english syntax and after a while you can read code as plain as The only parts you will struggle on are mathematical functions are unhelpful obfuscated functions. Also game programming is an interest of mine, pity I can't do artwork/graphics for anything. Engine programming I can do though. Tested games for a while too, that was fun.
Although HTML is actually a markup language, not a programming language. Same with javascript, it's a scripting language not a programming language. Confusing eh? :0 As far as being good at maths goes, I disagree. I think you need to know math THEORY, you need to know HOW to work stuff out, the program will actually do the math for you. What you do need is a logical mind, you need to be able to comprehend the structure and theory behind programming/how it works/how the computer compiles and/or interprets it.

HTML. 'tis a markup language. This is easy to know since the meaning of the last 2 letters in the abreviation is Markup Language. As to languages: My preferences lie in C++ and Java. But then summer came. And then I decided to learn the syntaxes and many of the libraries for ALL OF THE LANGUAGES. (You could say I'm *shades* Multilingual.) Or close to at least. And then Assembly was silly. And then my engineering teacher is making me do operations on paper. (Huzzah! I managed to find the square root of something! It only took an hour.) Anywho: PHP is currently what I'm looking into fully developing, Being rather useful for much of the backends of most websites. Also SQL helps to, but it I know. That and read the entire Java Documentation.
I don't know any programming, although it'd be fun to learn. My boyfriend's the programmer lol. He's in his Senior year at college, getting his Game Design degree. I will say this though; mass props to those that can program, haha. He started to teach me some a couple years ago and it was a bit of work to wrap my brain around it in the beginning.
well, since I'm going for my master degree in Computer engineering, I have to know programing. currently I know: C, C++, Python and Assembler (both basic RISC architecture and ARM architecture), and little bit of Java and C#. HTML isn't really program language, but yes, I know it. Plan for future is to learn Java fully. Currently I usually make some programs for college, or in free time, I play with coding some functions. mostly for some math calculators, functions etc.
I only have a basic knowledge of programming. I like reading code, I can understand some of it, but I can't program myself. My school offered a "programming" class (dare I call it that) which was quite sad to say the least and I didn't really get much out of it. I'm going to college for Computer Engineering, and while that strays away from programming I'll most likely take programming electives. Or I could always try teaching myself.
A-Level, first time I ever learned programming (late to the party as it seems) anyway, got started in pascal! here we go... http://www.mediafire.com/?qj0gai0juywsdaq No instructions, just grab it and try! Since, I've learned HTML, PHP and the use of SQL to communicate with online databases. Ab-so-lute-ly, it took me a little while to figure out how the red slider on this program should work, but I never ever had to work out anything myself, it was all there ready to (ab)use...specifically the information relating to the object height.
And then I remember F#. Why I bothered to learn it... *shrug* Couple of third party libraries is all it takes for Java to do it better.
Haven't really touched on Programming before, but will be starting a CS/Mathematics joint honours come later this year, so I'll have to be a damn good programmer eventually. I'm sure it won't be that hard to wrap my head around the basic concepts, if I can cope with the much harder maths, haha. Not at all. You can learn how to program without needing to be skilled in maths. It will help though, as being skilled in maths will allow you to have the logical mindset that will allow you to 'get' programming easily. That is probably the hardest part of it all, that initial 'getting it' step. If you're skilled in maths, you'll probably end up as a very good programmer, provided you go into CS or something, and learn all the theoretical maths behind computers.
Im in programming myself. If someone were to ask me if I knew programming. I would say yes but I have gotten rather rusty when it comes to things like Raptor, C++ and java. I do know how to program to a certain degree in visual fox pro and right now I'm learning to use Progress 9.1B.
Textyworld Hey lads! I've done something rather cool. I'm not finished but I thought you might like to know what I've been doing. [size=+1]Textyworld[/size] View attachment 3815 I'm trying to make a vaguely usable Text Adventure engine out of the Text Adventure Foxytail offered up. I've been working on this for a while and it's pretty good so far, me thinks. Additions: - Player class contains room history rather than having to make a separate one for each player character. - NPC's can now be added to the game - NPC's can be talked to. It's basic but functional. - A Limited Width Output thingy formats text automatically when written to the console. Planned Additons - A battle system. - A proper UI. - Sound capabilities for effects and voice acting. - Images to help illustrate the games world. - Executable file types. The thing is that the Story I've written for this weird little thing about a cult that worship Liam Neeson. I was thinking of something more in our interests when the engine is working fully and properly. The idea that instantly popped to mind was something based on the Rainbow Factory fan-fic, using OC characters from this site. Sound good? Also, any one that wants to help me build this is more than welcome. I'm not that good a programmer. Please release new features for the engine here so I can add them to the main game.
This is now the Java Game Thread. Posts games you wrote in Java. The game Le Intsructions Le JavaDoc Github Link Made by Dan and myself as our final project for programming.
