No, no. The size isn't the issue... it's the constant repetitive and distracting motion that drives me up the wall

Oh, I assumed you used Windows since you asked for a compiler :P Use xCode if you really want a GUI, but for just compiling stuff quick, using gcc from the terminal is better. gcc is only better if you don't have to link against the NUMEROUS frameworks that game engines always seem to have and/or r...

Also, Kalexon: allow me to suggest a very lightweight game engine, such as Isotope . For a beginning developer, such an engine has numerous advantages. First, the language is Python, which is FAR easier to actually learn and do stuff with than C++. Secondly, it seems (admittedly, I haven't actually ...

gpwiki.com looks like a good resource.

For C++ compiler, just google.

Yah, the GPWiki has some great stuff. Alas, for beginning game devopers, it seems there is no one definitive source for all the answers you need. Unless, of course, you count Google

Thanks, I decided to go with an engine called Crystal Space, now for the next question! I need a compiler for C++ because what I download is the source code. Crystal Space seems to be a good choice. There's a group curretnly working on a free MMORPG, PlaneShift using it. As for a compiler, I'd need...

You can probably find something here: GPWiki Game Engines List

Have fun!

I would just like to point out that there is *no* way this is going to be the final Mac vs. Window discussion/debate/bloodbath ;) That said, I vote Mac because Windows drives me up the wall. _Nik Edit: Oh, and Cocoa. That kicks ass. Edit 2: And would people please stop using animated GIF profile pic...

I'm on a dual G5 tower with OS 10.4.6. I loves me compy

Finally decided to download the campaign the other day, and I must say it's most excellent Very nice work.

I've waited quite some time for unconsious rabbits to come around, but none ever have. I think that may have been an aspect of the beta version, for which I'm assuming the documentation was originally written.

No, I really think Ovaltine wants some sex in this game. As far as he's concerned, he's obsessed with the idea, that, and penis swords (wtf is with that?). I mean, take a look at the first post. He actually wants to see some sprawled out rabbits. Why do you think he's got the title "Over-enthu...

Okay guys, I have looked through the whole thread and here's my opinion: I for one think Oval's suggestion was a bit sick, this is not suppose to be a game about bunny's having sex, it's about A) Turner, a dude who has just lost everything B) Turner Avenging his family C) Turner trying to figure ou...

He's been trying to get my code for the last two weeks :p

Actually, I think myst:revelation needs that kind of power. So really, if you can run that, this should work. I have a myst rev box sitting right next to me...uhhh, it says that the minimum vram reqs are 32MB and the recommended is 64MB. (both Mac and PC) Are you thinking of the new myst game? (mys...
