new to 64Digits: about me

Posted by Self_titled on Jan. 24, 2007, 8:44 a.m.

Well I'm new to 64Digits (relativly) but not to game development nor Game Maker.

I first started developing games in 1997 using a program called Klick 'n' Play (no code but propostional logic) this help me as I started programming Visual Basic getting a A* in GCSE IT and A grade A' level in Computing.

In 2004 I started Software Engineering BSc degree at Newcastle University, making games in GM all the way. Then I changed my course to Games and Virtual Enviroments.

I'm due to graduate this summer.

Having never really finished a GM game due to lack of interest or i just thought it was a bad concept, I'm not at all known in the GMC.

At present I have a phew games in development the biggest and most important being a MMO game written in Java for my dissertation using a brand new never before implemented architecture.

Another game in development is a horse racing game for a mobile phone, many more games are in development but not important enough to mention.

More of my games present past and never done can be found at my website.

Hi man, welcome to 64D. [:D]

I don't know any Java, so I can't talk with you about it. XD

But I hope you find it pleasent here.

If you need anything just give me a PM.

If I didn't know GML, I wouldn't understand one bit of what you and DF are talking about.

Then again, maybe I would…oh, well.

I can't wait to get into Java.

I like java so i think you'll like it (if you can get intellij its the best ide for java)

I tried the site you put a link to. I couldn't find a download button. Earlier, I downloaded all this Java stuff that wasn't of any use to me. They were programs, but none I could get into and edit something.

I use jgrasp, I've also used JCreator. I like JGrasp more, but I'll check out this Intellij.

the link is not a file its just a reference kinda like documentation on GM, and you'll already have on you com if you have java installed they are classes that you can create and use in your java code.

And wow Intellij is a bit expensive. But you gotta love the JetBRAINS slogan - Develop with Pleasure…

lol yeah, wow i diddnt realise it was that much I have an academic license so i diddnt realise sorry.

I see, it is pretty expensive. It does look pretty useful, though.

That reminds me of 3d Studio Max. It might be for game making, but I know it's for graphics. It tops off at like $3,000+, way too expensive.
