been through numerous programming languages and editors.From the yoyo gamemaker(which I,yes do have the full version of to panda,python,C++,C#,demo of unity 3D and Silent Walk FPS creator, and at the end decided none of them were right for me and I think I may have found the reason Darkbasic didn't load media before but I have installed vista ultimate on my computer and the system requirments state that darkbasic dose not run on vista. I first found an interest in game programming when I saw all of these doom mods on youtube and as a big fan of first person shooters I wanted to try to do this just with actual models instead of sprites. I wanted to make a good doom mod but with good graphics. In specific a first person game about my favorite revolutionary. I wanted it to be realistic and somthing similar to the formatting of far cry two. My main optimistic feat was to have the most advanced AI possible. AI with intelligence smart enough to hide and shoot behind cover and not be dumb enough to walk right into you.(somthing like what a noob playing online halo would do, not a good player but with common sense enough not to walk in to a field of fire. (and yes I am permanently coming back)

Edit yes I am building from down up,who remembers the FPS engine I made I never could figure out how to make a moon or sprint but I am going to star back working on it.

and learn a bit more about arrays and bullets also make a health bar But as I already sia my main focus is going to be the most advanced AI possible.

i don't see a question here?

oh and since you are still new (well not very new but never been able to makeanything cuz of the media thing) i wouldn't jump into the dream game your speaking of. i don't know how many times i've herd this but you need to start simple (or maybe make some indavidual programs that could teach you things about components in your overall program)

Caleb offers good advice. Start small and build from there. All of this isn't easy to learn. Take your time and most importantly - have fun!

Good to see you've come crawling back.
It might seem like these guys are trying to burst your bubble, but the fact is even if you could make a game that good on your own it would take years and would be so stressfull it would hardly be worth it. People seem to miss out the point that making smaller programs is also a lot more fun; you can play with ideas and learn new things without having to go through the boring bits.

The thing I love most about coding is when you've struggled with a problem for days and you finally work out how to solve it - I always punch the air at that point - I can't think of anything that gives me a greater sense of pride than that. I'm sure others will agree.

A good tip is to limit yourself. You could write a game in 20 lines or make a game using only 8x8 sprites etc. Then squeezing the most out of those limits is fun.

Ditto. But then I usually punch myself because I just programmed a really complicated mostly working system, and there is a single command already for it

Haha yeah I found out the hard way that there's a SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW OBJECT command (is that right?).
That was back when I was being a noob and jumping straight into 3D.

Agreed Obese, the rewards definitely come from setting goals and meeting them - whether it's getting an effect just the way you want it, fixing an annoying bug, or adding a feature that you haven't tackled before.

It's funny but AI is often the part that people are most reluctant to tackle, but that's where I get all my laughs. When AI goes crazy it's often hilarious, when AI kicks your ass it's hugely rewarding. The rewards only come by getting stuck in at the end of the day, then it's just plain addictive. When it's more fun to write games than play them, you know you've found your calling .

same here when i whas a realy noob and started strait in to 3d i tried to create some sort of ai of ewery traffic car and when it suposed to turn riht it turnedleft or backwards
lol. but i started strait into 3d but thats miht be ok i you have be used other 3d proramming or at least created a 3d modell
if nott it realy adviced to read some books of about proramming that have werry like syntax like QBasic and DarkBasic pro(i did lol QBasic for dummies) and start in to text exs input and output on to the screen and pong pacman etc. then might start on 3D but start simple like 3rd perspective on a strait round adding collision landscape etc.

ps hope you and others understaned what i wrighted and might have gotten one tip`s/Advice

If you keep talking like that That1smartguy, with all these mods around now then they are going to tell you to stop. up to this point people are still asking questions and awnsering questions. the original question was answered a while back so no one is "Hijacking" the thread.

Just saying lol

the question was already answered, so the options for this thread are:

1) let it fall down the list of threads and off to another page, never to be used again

2) we use it for senseless and pointless stuff such as we have been

its not like were wasting a thread, we're extending its life
