And GUI is a huge deal for this sort of thing. If the GUI sucks, the editor sucks, to be quite honest.


I'm sure he must have heard of it at least once. There has been many discusions about Hyrule Magic the past couple of months. I wasn't around during Hyrule Magic's time either, but I still know plenty about it.

And yes the GUI matters to an extent, it needs to be user friendly, but there's no reason why it can't use Lunar Magic's GUI while it's still in it's early stages. Yes it should use it's own GUI later on (once it is more developed), but it's not a big issue right at the moment.
And I'm not saying that you should agree with me either, it's perfectly fine to have your own opinion, and I'll have my own.

I believe it is good to release, with source code, early and often. This does not just apply to Yoshi Magic but to Lunar Magic and AcmlmBoard. Both of those are choking on thier own secrecy, and poorly reasoned justifications have been given(mostly by people not involved with the creation of those programs). Don't let your project be next. Have an open beta, provide source starting during beta, and accept advice and patches early on. Doing so may sound strange or bad to some, but it will improve the chance of success.

Don't call it Island Dozer. That name is taken.

Release the source is acceptable, but only if the project die.

Read over your posts and fix your mistakes. It gets annoying,... sorry I'm not trying to be an ass, but it makes your posts a little harder to read at a glance

Personally if I was working on a editor, I would do the GUI first. I tend to do that with every program I make...

Then you never heard about the open-source projects. Good thing about releasing the source is that you get more help. Bad thing is that somebody can stole the source and claim it as own. (probably wouldn't happen thought )

And it's up to the author if he wants to release it or not.

Your paraphrase of my post resembles a strawman attack. Taken literally it is not true, because I don't use VB or want to. I have already created a number of my own YI decoding functions using the information posted at this board. Plus, I look over my posts for spelling errors before submitting them.

I believe the the source should be released for use, but no (honest) person would have any reason to take and not give back. Precautions, such as an appropriate license and accepting patches, can discourage forking.

And I guess you've never heard of source code licenses such as GPL. They give you protection from would-be code thieves. Protection which could even stand up in court, if one were to take it to that level.

Oh yes how could I forget about GPL...

Found this page about GPL. Intresting read actually, but remember gnu.org is almost taking things abit... religious. Nothing wrong with that but... heh

Silly... it doesn't choke on secrecy, it thrives on it! At least, I think that's what it was trying to tell me. I typed in the question to Lunar Magic, but all it did is bring up some hidden feature I don't really remember putting in. *shrugs*

Yeah right, a GPL is soo going to stop people form using it...

Kitten Yiffer, the fact that i don't like open-source projects, doesn't means i don't know them.

Cellar: So you bash me because of a "teh"? Right after i post i always check if it has any errors, and then, if needed, i edit the post. But i have something called life, and it's more important than a message board.

"Plus, I look over my posts for spelling errors before submitting them."
So, what does this has to do with source codes?

You seem a bit too paranoid and cynical to be a programmer.

Cellar Dweller, it's actually pretty easy to get Acmlmboard's source, because so many people have it. Just ask anyone who has it and they usually give it to ya. As for FuSoYa's editor... yea, I don't understand why he's so paranoid about releasing it. Look at Disch; his programs are great. And he NEVER keeps his sources secret. He practically gives them to whoever asks, unless he doesn't trust the person who asks (I'm sure if one Frenzied Panda asked him for any source, that Panda would be shot down instantly). Also, no one exactly rips off of his programs. And well, this editor has ripped off of LM so far, even though there's no actual editor yet. Maybe giving out the source means less ripping off, I dunno. I don't see what's wrong with giving out sources. It helps people learn if anything. And btw, anyone who rips off of an innovative program usually is shot down within days. So nothing to worry about there.

Oh, I usually wouldn't look at a source even if it was released, so it's not like I care too terribly much about it. It's just that I can't stand coders who are paranoid like "OMG if I release my source, all my work will be ruined and people will rip off of it OMG I have to keep it to myself not even my dog can see it he will leak it and we'll all die." That's what I have a problem with, and that's why I speak (or post, if you prefer).

In the case that someone is dishonest enough to try that, the author can contact the owner of the server or their network provider to have the offending files removed or even file a lawsuit. So far, all GPL violations have been resolved out of court.

I was referring to the lamer speak that you compared my post to.

Regarding AcmlmBoard, I was talking about versions newer than 1.8a. I found out about the download site back in January by reading old posts in the AcmlmBoard programming forum.
