    Quote from Wembly

    Usually System of a Down

    *virtual high five*

    SoaD, Korn and a few of E.S. Posthumus, mostly. Sometimes Rammstein.

    But it depends on the games. Some game require me to be careful with the surrounding noises (not hearing a spider in minecraft can lead to a surprise).

    I saw this gem on TheDailyWTF a while ago (link here) :

    enum Bool 
    { 
        True, 
        False, 
        FileNotFound 
    };


    TDWTF contains enough coding failure to make you lose faith in humanity. Read at your own risk.

    Nice! What language do you use?
    By Hard-coded, do you mean that you insert the terrain data (ie, where the houses are, and etc) directly into the code without reading an external file?

    I'm making a tile based rpg editor myself, using RPG Maker XP's tilesets and autotiles as example, and it's not all that easy. I hope you'll be able to continue and finish your game ! :smile.gif:

    This song is either mood lightening or sanity dissolving.

    Quote from HexZyle

    Noted. So what is the difference between C# and C++ anyway?

    C# is still continually in developpement, adding new features every few years with a new .net framework version. And.. well, i could write an article, but i found this one which summarize the difference. It's possible you may not understand what's listed here really means. I suggest you google the terms that are unfamilliar. I'll try to pick a few important thing :

    - Garbage collection : help you clean up bits of memory that aren't used/referenced anymore (but does not entirely take the job from you). In other words, help prevent memory leak.

    - Huge .NET-Framework library : The .net framework comes with a large library of premade tools of all kind, separated into namespaces, of which you simply have to say that you are "using" the namespace. Most of the time, you don't have to install a 3rd-party library to gain the feature you want. An overview. Also, using a 3rd-party library is a snap, as all you have to do is to reference the DLL file given. As long as the DLL have been made with a .NET language (VB.net, C#, C++(with CLI), F#, etc), you can use it.

    I mentioned C++/CLI, and i just want to clear something : You can use the .NET framework with C++, with the use of Visual C++ Express. With it, you would get access to many advantage of C#, but not all. Mostly, access to all of the .net library mentioned above.

    EDIT : If you happen to try and have any questions, or bugs, or whatever C# related, you can always PM me.

    Try C# with the XNA graphic engine. XNA is plentifully flexible to do an RTS in 3D, while allowing you to do easy 2D (HUD, for example). Just search on youtube "xna", that should give you an idea. C# goes well with a pretty good IDE, Visual C# express, free of any charge (you just have to register with an email).
