Title: Shiny Consoles Post by: Cortez on April 18, 2004, 01:36:33 pm Almost every project here has to build it's own tile/sprite engine & re-invent the wheel. Consoles specific for this purpose would serve pretty cool IMHO (i noticed that in Kosh's SFFC GBA port).
What about putting a console programming section to the main? I'm aware of the fact that they're not easy to manipulate, but once we learn how to program them the results might be cool ;) The only person i know here that is interested with console programming is Straus, but maybe there's more... Title: Shiny Consoles Post by: Devlyn on April 20, 2004, 08:23:33 am Well, if you can find multiple Shining projects that make use of console programming (as in two or more), there may be a point for making a forum for it.
One project alone might not suffice though, as in that case we might as well add a JAVA forum, a Flash forum, a GameMaker forum etcetera. Now that I think of it, perhaps a general programming forum might cover the load for you guys? Title: Shiny Consoles Post by: Cortez on April 21, 2004, 11:29:07 am Eh, I guess you've misunderstood me...
I meant a platform specific topic, not language specific (however, as far I know, there's only asm, C/C++ and BASIC for GBA). You mean a general programming forum for pseudo discussion?? IMHO this's a good idea :) Title: Shiny Consoles Post by: Newts on April 21, 2004, 12:22:41 pm I think what Dev meant is that a section devoted to console fangames would seem a little deserted. And if I've understood you right, Cortez, you're suggesting we have separate forums for different consoles - ie a GBA development forum, a Mega Drive forum etc. In my opinion, if we're going to split fangames up according to console/programming language/number of consonants, that's a bit silly. A general programming forum, with topics within that catering for different languages/platforms, is a much better idea, for me anyway.
Title: Shiny Consoles Post by: Devlyn on April 21, 2004, 12:36:32 pm I'll set up a General Programming Forum then. If it gets grossly overcrowded, we can always split it up later :).
Title: Shiny Consoles Post by: Cortez on April 21, 2004, 06:17:55 pm Actually Newts, I was suggesting to have a doc section on consoles (in the main site maybe), and one forum for consoles, not seperate forum for each console. To clarify: PC, Console. Anyway...
