Preposterous. He established his credentials before discussing his position. That you are offended by somebody being more well-credentialed than you are is immaterial.

You owe him an apology.

That's not what I saw it as.

I would personally go with Java if i were to make a game .

Easy to learn and code in. Making Object Oriented code has never been easier.

[DrPizza]

You're right. Game engines and operating systems do use C. But do you know why? Can you tell me exactly why they need it?

Of course, they don't, in general, need it--they just have entrenched legacy code dating back to the 80s. Integer-valued pointers are kind of nice for memory-mapped I/O and things like that (where setting a pointer value to a specific integer value is meaningful), and sure, we need little bits of code to write a boot loader, wire up interrupts, set up the processor to switch into protected mode, and so on, but really, there's no particular reason that these things need to be in C. Even C needs to use intrinsics or drop into assembler for some of the low-level processor configuration, so there's no reason that such intrinsics couldn't be made available in some other language.

Anyone starting the development of a mainstream OS from scratch today would use at the very least C++, and quite feasibly something higher-level even than that.

Then you jumped to conclusions about the apparently-unclear intent of a man you do not know, and tried to bitch him out over it, despite the fact that he's trying to help. That's... better?

I don't care. You're wrong and backpedaling now that you have been confronted.

You owe him an apology.

I'm not backpedaling, I was correcting your thought that I'm offended by somebody who you assume is more credentialed than me.

[Blacken]

You called him a cunt for no reason at all. Man up and apologize. This isn't rocket science.

[Jookia]

I called him a cunt because to me he seemed like he thought he was bigger than everybody else.
I'm not going to apologize simply because I don't want to.

[Blacken]

And people call me an asshole? Really?

Amazing. See, dude, at least when I'm wrong, I can admit it.

[G-Flex]

I called him a cunt because to me he seemed like he thought he was bigger than everybody else.

The only reason you called him that, or thought that, was because he listed his credentials and tried to be informative. What conclusions do you expect people to draw?

[Jookia]

Amazing. See, dude, at least when I'm wrong, I can admit it.

I know I'm wrong. I just don't feel like apologising to somebody who joined the forum just to post in this thread and could very well be an alt of yours.

[G-Flex]

That doesn't even have anything to do with anything. You were bitching him out for saying what his credentials were and trying to inform you about things, not because you thought he was an alt of Blacken's.

You know you were acting like a dick, so now you're making up completely new reasons to not admit it. Classy.


Seriously though, why would Blacken create an alt specifically for the purpose of acting nicer to you than usual? That doesn't even follow.

[Jookia]

I did act like a dick and I am a dick.
I'm even more of a dick because I'm not apologising.

[G-Flex]

Well, at least that's settled, then.

[Blacken]

Now, can we get back to actual topical discussion now, preferably sans douchebaggery?
