| Learning about all of these languages use to program games, programs, etc.. I don't think I've seen anyone using Game Maker, which has a programming language all to itself. I just wonder if anyone here actually uses it. Well? Anyone?
If you don't know what Game maker is, here is the link: http://www.gamemaker.nl/ Check it out! |

| Metriod online...I originaly read your post on MFGG. I love MFGG, but haven't posted or anything, though I submitted a game.
The Idea of Metroid Online sounds interesting. The amount of programming that would have to take would be immense and time-consuming, if all of the enemies were playable. I don't think the little programming knowlege I have would help any, but from my experiance, this idea is very ambitious. |

| Yes, I agree. Though I have never used any other language other than GML (Game Maker Language), I think Game Maker is and can be advanced for serious designers such as myself. But there are plenty of things that still need to learn. I have one game on www.mfgg.com in the demos section (though it's a COMPLETE game). Please check it out! Any ideas or bug reports are welcome!

| -----
The GameMaker language is actually pretty constricting. Last I checked, you don't have proper object support or even proper functions. ----- Well, it all depends on what you think is a "proper function". Game Maker has its own functions made just for game design. It's just a matter of opinion really. ----- It's a lot of fun to play with, and might be reasonable for cranking out prototypes, but you really do lose a lot by not taking the leap into a decent language (I'll suggest Java). ----- I have to agree, Game Maker is fun to explore, but is good for making decent games. Not all of the games made with GM are 2-D platformers, or cheap RPGs. Once registered, you can use 3D functions and that's when it gets complex. VEEERY complex... Java? Heard of it but never really thought of it. Maybe I should. ----- Basically, with GML, you gain built-in sprite, collision detection, tilemap, and game-object support at the expense of functions, objects, and bunches of other really powerful programming tools. ----- Yes, yes. Quite correct, though one would want to use real sprites though. Using draw_rectangle(x-16,y-16,x+16,y+16,true) makes the game look a bit sloppy. Thanks for your thoughts! Quite interesting. |

| So you want to introduce me to Java? Hmmmm... It all depends. What (compiler,program,etc...) is needed to use Java? | |||

| Okay. I'll look into it. Thanks for all the advice. Hey, and did you all know that GM can use pretty much any other programming language? You would have to have to be a good preogrammer though. |
