Second on the Defcon recommendation. I plan on going to one eventually because I’ve heard it’s pretty interactive, and I also want to see the wall of sheep lol
Manx, thanks for the defcon heads up! Finally got back onto code academy and working my way through the html/css section, then getting back to python, have to re-learn all my javascript syntax too as my brain has rusted x_x
I use C# and Unity. What you need?
Oh, by the way, the 3DS app I was talking about earlier is called Petit Computer, which uses the Basic language. After checking it out on Youtube, you can do some pretty cool stuff with it. Haven’t used Basic in years though, and it’s kind of funny that they went with that language.
Lol, i am on the same boat, i studied my degree on engineering in computer science because i wanted to make games, but now i am more interested on security and datawarehousing.
I would still like to make a game though.
I am currently trying the android sdk and unity3d to see how do i fare with them :tup:
^Yeah me too, I’d love to code some small and simple games, but not really massive projects :S
Apparently, you can create games, and debug them on a retail XBone, and even self publish to Live…
If you’re interested in small games, but you aren’t into coding that much, you could try something like Game Maker. It’s a legit program for making games. SFxMM was made using it. Spelunky too, I believe (not 100% sure).
The original Spelunky was. The most recent version was created from scratch.
Hotline Miami, however, was made in Game Maker.

Anyone have a good open source office suite they can recommend besides openoffice? I love it, but I HATE the fact that page numbering has to be a fucking project. Spent about half an hour trying to get page numbers on every page but the title page and bibliography of my final paper and just gave up
The only one I can think of is the off shoot, Libreoffice.
I haven’t even looked at it in a long time and it’s probably not a great plan unless you’re on *nix, but you could check out KDE’s office suite.
My skills are mainly in graphic design so I have close to zero programming knowledge. I need to create a site that’s similar in function to craigslist/gumtree. The easiest way to describe is its a site for posting adverts for products.
Someone gave me a copy of dreamweaver cs5 to play around with and I want to know if this is all I be needing to create this website.
I always thought dreamweaver was just for static websites, not for ones with a database back end, but I don’t know
what would you suggest I use instead of Dreamweaver?
I don’t know, I don’t do graphical design very well, but all my website are done with notepad for the front end, and then I use a tomcat server with a sqlserver database on the backend.
You can use Dreamweaver to make a website with a database connection. I think there’s automatic code generations for MySQL servers via PHP but every other DB you need to hard code everything. So you’d have to learn HTML/CSS/SQL/PHP or another server-side language.
forget about the graphics. I’m not worried about the aesthetics of the site yet, i’ll deal with that later, i just want the site to function like a basic classified ads site.
Well, graphics aside, you’d still have to learn those languages. In the end craigslist is just a bunch of lists which reference ads pertaining to that particular category, whether you want to pretty it up is your choice or stick with a craigslist look and just be hyperlinks until you get to the actual posting.
