Project - Apolyton game

[Adagio]

Nope, never heard about that line...

But I'm not suprised... for now we have learned things in a strange way... The first 'big' thing we should do was making a newsgroup client, then a web-server client... with very little usefull stuff before that

[Adagio]

...and the worst thing: My teacher has never been able to help with anything... I have given him 1000+ questions, but have yet to answer a single one of them

[alva]

Well, not lol of course.

Nothing as bad as a p*ss poor teacher to demotivate a pupil.

My first real program is almost finished too :Pride:

I'll post it later this weekend (hopefully). A remake of a classic boardgame in true MP style.

There is no SP

And there's just way too many of those teachers in this area of the world

We've got 4 teachers on our school:
All of them only knows "what's in the book"... ok, not all what's "in the book", only the parts they want to teach us


On my last school my IT teacher didn't even know how to get around Windows (you know... folders and such 'advanced features')


And the worst part is: I'm a very slow learner, so looking at source code of other projects takes ages to figure out (When there's some code I've never seen before)... This is the reason why this project is going so slow: I've got nobody I can ask for help (only those who comes up with some high-advanced code I wont be able to see through anyway)

I'll send you my code if you want to.
It's beginners level too.

mostly undocumented though, but I should be able to answer or explain what's going on.

[Adagio]

Would be great

[alva]

I went through a couple of school examples, they won't do you much good though, lot of dutch in there.

I'll see if I can translate some soon.

Send me a mail, don't have your address anymore.

[Adagio]

pm sent

Great... now the hollydays begin, so I can finally get something done to this project... and what happens then... my computer gets 'wasted'

[alva]

See it as an opportunity the see the real world.

I'll represent the nooB since I havent been following this thread like I had originally intended to and I dont have the patience to read all 7 pages to find anything so: What do I download to play!

Visual studio

Don't worry, it's just a small file

Nothing... it's been too slow because of those annoying thing called Real Life, and strange bugs in the game

[General Ludd]

So... what happened to this? I've been looking for things to practice with, and I might try a re-do of the graphics if this hasn't been abandoned.

[Adagio]

It haven't been abondoned, just delayed

After some time I finally got my computer fixed again, but then a couple of weeks ago we got lots of homework, so basicly I have done nothing but homework for the last 2-3 weeks
Tomorow we hand in the last two homework, and in two days we get our exams project, which we've got 3 weeks to finish, and when it's done we have to read for exam for a couple of weeks

So I wont be able to code to this game before we're through exams... and if I fail by first try, it'll take even longer


But when I finally get some time to do some coding, I'll try to make it without graphics, to avoid the DirectDraw problem I have. This also makes it faster to get something working. When it works I'll start putting in the graphics...
