Well yes, but that'll be in a long while.

We're not 7 years old, you don't have to get the last word in every dam time.

I was simply stating to him that I wont be using his library becuase i wont be learning C# until a long time from now.

I'd certainly be interested in this. Was considering writing my own, but this would make my work a lot easier. Is there any place to download it yet?

We know all of that already. We were kinda listening!
Furthermore, you probably know enough programming to handle the ASCII lab, though you might struggle a bit learning c# syntax the first week.

[eerr]

Still waiting on how detailed that ASCII stuff is.

If I can make a good lightning effect that looks like a nethack wand-zap and regular explosion, then hell yea. I don't look forward to trying to make that sort of game in game maker because there is no space for AI.

Actually, dam, that probably wouldn't work. A defense game needs realtime to add pressure.

Ugh...

Hmmmm.

Be patient. I'll have the link ready, today or tomorrow. I've been swamped with work and looking back over this project, I think I might switch out the DirectX code I am using, for performance reasons. However, what I've got right now works and it should be fine to get things started. I don't think I'll change much of anything that's exposed.

C# vs JAVA...
Note: I have used both languages professionally.
C# and java are very similar.

Both are compiled to an intermediate assembly level (java byte codes, .NET CLR).
Both have c++ like syntax.
Both have abstracted most of the fiddly bits of C++ away.
Both have fully managed memory models without pointers, maloc, etc.
Both have fairly large standard libraries including GUI widgets.

Java is open source, c# is not, though for practical purposes that does not matter at all.
Java has a strong philosophy that can seem to impair its functionality, while c# has developed more rapidly and has a lot more "freedom".
Java is faster under most circumstances, however the default garbage collector in java can cause sporadic lag that the c# garbage collector wont.

Plus due to my excessive boredom, I have a tendency to try to continue conversations long after they've ended.

You should try spelunky.
It is awesome. Also made in gamemaker, so I find it a little inspirational.

This. So this.
I play Spelunky like three hours a day.
And when that doesn't work,
 Toribash, FoF, and Cortex Command are there to provide back up vocals.

Also, if you want a major time waster,
 look into "An Untitled Story".

[Hippoman]

Tried it on my 98. And it wigged out. But I could give it another go on my XP.

File uploaded. I added the link to the original post. The default application is a very simple demo. I might post another demo here that is a little more illustrative.

Holy shit, c# is awesome.

Edit: Wait, do I need to write math. everytime I want to use
math.atan2()?

Yes and yes. 'Math' is a static class, not a namespace. It's the way things are organised in C# - every function belongs to a class.

[Nadaka]

c# is pretty awesome, I prefer java for its portability and speed, but c# is very good as well.

Re: math c# does not have an analog to the with command from vb, so yep always have to specify the class/object name for methods. Its pretty much the only thing I want c# to import from vb.

[eerr]

But it's fine because I can use operator overloading to write out math.atan2 wrapped up into a function called "atan" , and use it like a "+" "-", or moreso a "/" operator?
