Paintball: good for beginners?
« on: June 18, 2007, 10:22:56 PM »
I recently decided that I was am going to dedicate my life to porn helping people, namely noobs, and making paintball a better game. If I were to decide to start trying to help with developing a game, would Digital Paint be a good game to start in and gain XP? (level up!) Also, is there anyone who could sorta, you know, take me under his/her (im not sexist) wing and show me some cool stuff about game developing? I wrote a sweet paper for English class about Game Development, where I basically pretended I knew stuff about it and everyone believed me. So I can either become a con artist, or a game developer, and I think helping to develop this game would look good on a resume some day. And, What the Hell... maybe when jitspoe gets tired of this game, I can take over the world and be a fricken shweet developer. If I have free time from being a spy looking at porn bank robberies being a regular high school kid.

In conclusion, porn is games are good.

P.S. you are now -10% intelligence for having read this.

Well, most of my C programming skills I have learned from studying the pball source (Altought I already knew managed C++ and C#), and nagging jitspoe/sort or any other programmer on irc with questions every hour. :)
Even though Jitspoe says the source is messy. :P
But the game is pretty much owned by jitspoe (*cough*gamex*cough*)even if you do a SUPER cool menu system.

I'd suggest browsing around http://forums.quakesrc.org and become more familiar with the Quake series of engines in general.  Also, don't expect anybody to baby feed you this stuff.  You're going to have to set out and learn it on your own.

I wasn't expecting ANY help actually, just a friendly hand to point me in the direction of some learning resources i guess.

Try going to irc, I could help you with stuff you dont understand if you go to #level_design on ETG.
