I know, it sounds weird, well, yea, it's true, I have been hired by somewhere I go to learn. I guess I better explain how it started;
Well, first I heard my tutor going on about the fact that they have no Internal Instant Messenger for the college, that just made me laugh, but then I realised, 'Hey, if I make one, I'll be able to talk to my friends who are in other classes, and 'snoop' on teachers if I really wanted to'. So I went up and said, 'Why don't you just download 'MSN' or 'YIM'?' And she said that their system blocks installers unless verified by some company that pay for the computers. So I said that I could probably make an instant messenger that doesn't need an installer, and she, said, 'Yea right.' So I mentioned that it is possible in Game Maker, and she said, 'Well, if you do this, you don't have to do essential skills this year' (Maths and English) So I am now currently working on an Instant Messenger with 'mplay'. And so far, it's going pretty well.But unfortunately I am not getting payed for making this, but I do get to skip Essential Skills!!! And that makes me happy!^And that's my blog ;)^Peace!
jesus christ. skipping those classes is gonna be a load off. congrats.
kick and ban options? it isn't going to be a large chatroom is it? that would suck. something more like a real messenger would be so much better. you can make two exe's run the first (which would be your messenger with your buddy list) and then when you double click on someone online, it would run the second exe (your conversation) setting variables such as your font, font color, display picture, and then set the other person in the conversation.I understand running so many gm exe's will lag…so there's either that, or maybe you can figure out a way to keep all of your conversations within one window…maybe tabs? that'd be neat.
