But anyway, thats cool sinister, thanks for the help!

If you get the time, would you put the link for the new project on your first post?


It's posted above, but it's: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=134808&b=10

@DarkNewbie
good suggestion but I want to keep this a DB community team, setting up our own forum would be isolating Noob Games from the DB forums.
I think the forums are more than adequate for our needs right now.

It is far better to complete a 10 line program than to start a 10,000 line program.

That's kind of unfortunate because the team itself isn't very big lol.

no, that was a joke, but it's true. That's awesome, we'd love your help. Just talk to Qui-Gonn BN2 Productions and he'll tell you something, hopefully, a bit more useful than what I just did.

Sure! You can help out with all of those actually. Right now, though, we are already in a project, with most of the jobs delegated out. So if you want to help out managing, giving advice and all that. Also, check with sinister to see if he needs help with the media. On our next project, there will probably be a need for some ai, which I believe right now is out of the scope of our members. So that will come into use. Other than that, we will have to wait and see. We don't exactly plan that much in advance.

You can check out the project thread, the link is above. I may give you sinani's job if he doesn't show up soon, but I don't want to cut him out.

So yeah, sorry for the "Here is a little stuff and we'll see about the rest" response, just the ball is already rolling on this project, so roles are coming up scarce.

This team is 90% "executives" and 10% coders lol
well at least the few noobs we have will learn quickly.

@BN2 and the team
good to see progress is being made on the project the only thing holding you back is the small size of the current team.

How can we get publicity for the team to recruit more members?

Maybe if we murdered someone we would get people's attention?

I still don't see why we are all so anti-dbpro around here... surely there are loads of n00bs there, just dying to join a team?

Simple. Finish this project. Crank out something fairly awesome, and then say we made it, and if you want to join etc. If it's good enough, then people will be interested. Etc. We have to have work to get workers. It's like you have to have money, to get money.

That's probably my fault, I don't know DBP so I just excluded them.
I suppose we could get some people from there, I'll make a post and see what happens. Do you (or any other experienced coder) know DBP?

@Irojo
very well said
now get back to work!!

Sure lets try to draw in some dbp people, but we will need a bit of a plan for as they get more advanced, since it will be difficult to manage a project of dbc/dbp code if some of the extra commands get used.

I would definitely agree with irojo. We won't be taken seriously unless we finish our first project, then people will see that we aren't just a bunch of people who are all talk.

Right now though, the project is well under way and I would suggest against recruiting anyone for this project. Recruiting into the team for the next project is good though, perhaps having do some benchmark programs (like the clock) so that we can figure out where they are.

Perhaps we should keep some sort of a database of the members and what they are good at as they progress, so that we can really take advantage of what we have in projects. Just an idea.

BN2 is right. Maybe also a collection of the most useful functions created so that they may be reused is a possibility too?

As we get larger, I think it would be cool if our members who have gotten advanced get to produce their own games through the team, kinda of as a rite of passage so to speak. So eventually, if they keep with it, everyone will be part of the creation of many games AND produce at least 1 game.

(how do you make that smiley?)

well, I'm going to try to get a whole bunch of people where I am interested in programming... Ofcourse I'll have to teach them first but then maybe they'll either join darkNOOBS or work on their own, I don't know.

Me too. I work at a game store, I could see if they will let me distribute our game free by cd, kinda a one per customer type thing, to spread the word. Also on the cd would be maybe some tutorials and 2 html files, one for darkbasic.com and the other for the noobs wanted post.

Well, maybe. Its been an idea I was thinking about.

High-quality enough for what? Its free! The idea is it just shows them that all of us normal people who want to make games have started and they can join it (it would probably have a 1% success rate, but I easily do almost 150 transactions, if not more, and also people can tell their friends). IDK, it is just an idea, like sinister, I probably won't because I will be too lazy.

Sorry if I sounded very negative, I actually really liked your programs it's just they were quite messy. I tend to criticise before I give praise so don't take it to heart.
You both have good imagination which can't be learnt, so all you're lacking is a bit of practice.
About the clock challenge: I don't understand trigonometry, I don't even know what TAN can be used for, but I use SIN and COS a lot in my programs lol.

I'm going to drop the pong project because I'm getting very little time at a pc at the moment and as BN2 said we don't have enough members to field two teams.
BN2 is producer for the next project, I'll try and come online and give help where I can and help with the final edit of the game.

Good Luck Noobs,

Its okay by me obese, i just have been on my own for a while(no internet,no life,pivots,etc.)

Why? I have only been up for 13.5 hours and I don't have to get up early tomorrow.

And thanks! Still not sure how I will do it, just trying to make the game work on a 32x32 grid, instead of 14x14. Insane game if you set all the tiles randomly. Totally impossible to win, but awesome none the less.

Some of the stuff from DBpro challenge is insane though! Well I think it's insane, I can't check it out. How I wish I could select text in the browser. Would anybody be so kind as to save a text documents of teh codez for sownload? Please?

I think this one guy who entered is doing it in 3D and he's already done the generation thing, now just adding enemies and stuff... :S

And as for the copying code snippets, what browser are you using? You could try using Ctrl-A (select all) and copy, which will copy the entire page.
One other way of doing it would be to print-screen the page and then find a downloadable program on the web that'll convert an image of text into editable text.

Oooh! Right! I never looked there

well, my browser is OperaMini... It's for the mobile, but my phone's built in browser (which is pretty cool, it's got java and everything) doesn't let you copy and paste either... I think... Maybe there IS no hope!

I mean, I can copy and paste other stuff like text from messages, word documents... just not from the browser...

Good idea

hmm...

OperaMini saves the pages as *.obml files ...I can't open these on my phone, do you know anything about them? If you put them on the pc... can you just change the extension to .html or do you need a converter os something?

...I'll investigate
