[Week 2]

I think BlitzMax is the best language to use, but people won't use it because they have never heard of it. C/C++ is pretty hard for beginners, so Lua offers a good combination of what people want. It is a well-known name, so people won't reject it for being unknown, and it is a lot easier for them to achieve progress with.

Targets. You can link objects by clicking on one and dragging the mouse to another, then releasing. There are 8 target indexes you can select in the menu. You can retrieve the targets with entity:GetTarget().

[Framewerk BMX & LUA test program]

There is a way to expose Framewerk and your own BMX commands in Lua. See the Lua forum.

[Almost a week now .....]

I recommend BlitzMax but people generally don't like using BlitzMax because they have never heard of it.

[Learning new stuff...]

That's a pretty good summary.

[How to handle 3rd party assets?]

This sounds like a good idea to me.

[Coroutines]

Don't have a clear idea how it works, but I am interested.

[Josh's new Game Demo coming soon?]

You can buy the game in England.

Hilarious. I actually did interview at Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, but by that point I viewed entering the medical profession as suicide. If a few things about it were different, it would be fantastic, but as it is I think it is a really bad deal. I have heard so many MDs say they wish they had gone into business or engineering or anything else. They try to sell you this idea that you are serving a higher purpose. You're not supposed to be in it for the money, but the hospital and administration certainly are. If a patient is getting treated by a resident making $50,000 a year, they don't get a discount on their hospital bill. Reality is they want cheap labor that doesn't make a fuss. I mean, if I said I was going to pay the workers at my McDonald's $2.75/hr. because I only wanted people who really loved working at McDonald's, you would see right through my pretense.

 

I wonder who even owns that site?

[Real Games made with LE]

Usually the first couple years of any engine's life doesn't produce any games, because users are still learning the system, and it's still being improved. The nicest DarkBasic and Blitz3D projects didn't come along until 5 years after they were released.
