wow, some very nice work going on here.. the tempo of the project is pretty amazing, i tend to be seeing something new everytime i return to the site, very promising and keep up the good work 

So i can catch up, Happy Birthday to all whose birthdays are near, have occurred or is occurring.

ditto. oh and answer to question.. 15

after seeing newts' sig, i decided to challenge him... i'm proud to say i got a highscore of 4434.. but it took alot of attempts to do so.. why doesn't everyone else have a go and see if you can beat it?? post your scores here (cannot post link or screenie as my comp is crap lol)

Nice one! I think the first program I ever wrote just asked for your name and then said "Hello, {name}". I don't think I wrote anything as complicated as a calculator either. You're doing really well

thank you Elvenfyre and Ty .. i did the hello name bit as well just before .. i didn't realise it would be as rewarding as it is to see a relativly simple program (when looked on from the outside) come together and actualy work.. it's not as neat and tidy as the windows calculator but it has all the basic functions i realise it's not very 'shining' lol but i had to start somewhere.. and this forum is the only forum i really visit (apart from sfc) so i had to tell someone of my great achievement  
thanks for the encouragment people.

i know this will sound like kid's play to everyone here.. but i've worked out how to make a calculator now.. in the end i used C# and i seem to be gettin to grips with it quiet fast not an AMAZING step i know.. but it's surely gotta help somewhere along the line... hasn't it???  won't be too long before you see me making the next fan game 

i don't like the idea of losing xp when you retreat/egress, as when you think about it if an army charges into battle.. works their bollocks off and then ends up being routed and retreating they are still recieving battle experience no? altough i do simpathize with you on the power leveeling issue.. a way of fixing this maybe (i don't know if it is possible) but to reduce the amount of exp. gained when a smilar monster is killed.. e.g if a 'huge rat' is killed give say.. 48xp, but then if a 'huge rat' is killed again reduce xp gain slightly.. to say 40xp and so on.. therefore not allowing people to power level on the same battles.. i like the idea of xp for entering the field.. maybe a base xp for entering battle.. to all members who started .. a bonus to those who survived.. and then a further bonus to those who initated attacks or where attacked the most (most times they appeared in a combat situation) however, i would only give theese out if a battle is succesfully completed rather than retreated from, obviously 

maybe base healers xp on amount of hp healed (in percentage) e.g if a healer healed 65% of someones hp.. earn more than when healing 10%.. also maybe get bonuses for healing higher level allies  (as a medic would gain more experience on the battlfield when healing a heavily wounded commander than a squire with a bruise on his knee)

i like the idea of the training side of things.. and maybe you should pay for people to enter training, and then whenever a battle is completed, any member of the team who is currently in the 'barracks' or wherever and is training, should get a half bonus of however much is given out as the normal bonus after completing the said battle on the real battlfield.. to keep them slightly under par compared to your main team.. meaning they can be used if necessary, without falling disastorously behind.. giving you more of a reason to actualy use them.

sorry for rambling.. i just like to try and help

i know i never signed up as a tester. but i have to say the work i've seen so far is pretty amazing, i watched the animated church and lamp.. and saw the vid of the flight.. they were all f***ing awesome if any help is needed with testing.. i'm here to do what i can.. i'm assisting in testing in another project so antoher one should be fine ok if i'm not needed.. just thought i would offer 

thanks for the help everyone.. i found out i had two versions of visual.. something which confused me at first.. but i found my c# office express edition thing and have taken 3 online lessons.... i'm getting to grips with it quite well now, although this does make me realise how impossibly hard a fan game must be to create... got alot of respect for people who have made alot of progress on projects lol... anyone know the limits of C#? is there a point where it just can't handle.. if that makes any sense?

very nice work Job.. the times i've looked thorugh the forums there dose'nt seem much you CAN'T do lol keep up the good work

thanks yet again.. i think i have visual C express... although i'm not sure if it's the right thing.. should their be something saying MSE that i use?? thanks x

wow quick responses... it sounds liek java's a good place to start.. just wondering what exactly would i need to begin programming i'm going to check for online tutorials and the such.. but do i need to download much??? can anyone give me a list of the basics i need to download and maybe places to download them from to get me started??? thanks x

Hi.. you may remember me from a year or two ago.. well i'm a little older now and i'm just about to give programming a shot.. any opinions on what language people think is best for begginers.. i know there is alot of different opinions i just would like to see what everyone feels. If there's one paticularly good programming language you want to vote for and it is'nt on the list.. pm me and i'll make it so lol.

i know i haven't done much for the site lol but what's going on? its been around 3 months since the last update on the main site an theres hardly even been news about how everyone's doing with thier projects.. any chance of a little more info please? i'm starting to give up now  

my mate done this the other day, i dunno if it counts or not.. but either way it still looks good
