    So I'm looking to become a games programmer...

    Partially true but if the language have some different paradigm or construct it might take quite some time before one can call them self good in the language. Also if you come into C# from C++ it won't really be that much to learn to get used to the garbage collector but going the other way from...

    So I'm looking to become a games programmer...

    I don't actually think one gains that much from going Java or C# first instead of just starting with C++... But then again I might be a bit biased as that is what I did. Where I studied they used to go Java first but then switched to C++ as allot of people started having big problems when...

    IR Eyepatch

    I'm sorry to say but you have a pretty big design flaw as the screen won't look good as you can't focus the eye on objects that close. Other then that I can't really help anything...

    Poll: "You can get away with anything if you say the right thing!"

    I'm pretty sure you can't get away with trying to kill everyone in sight with your bare hands.

    Making games for Mac...

    Graphics side it mostly depends on if the PC version uses DirectX or OpenGL. If it's DirectX then they will pretty much need to redo a big part of the graphics code. Otherwise it's somewhat easier. The fact is that Mac doesn't have a big enough of userbase to warrant the cost of a port. Also...

    Poll: To all Fellow PC Gamers What Kind of Mouse do you use.

    I got a Logitech G9x. I only have one complaint about it and that is that it isn't as comfortable(I can't quite figure out how where to put my ringfinger) as the G5 or similar models. But I only notice it if I start to think about my mouse otherwise I have no problems. I used to have a G5 but...

    Help me test my tower defense!

    You seem to have broken the wave system. If I'm not fast enough in killing all of them then the enemies disappear(long before reaching the castle) and a I get a new wave. If I kill them before this moment occurs then I get no new wave even though they are all dead. A quick note on balance...

    Help me test my tower defense!

    The reason for me being able to complete it was thanks to the Rock Towers getting them stuck, otherwise I wouldn't been able to make it. I played it once more to look at balance. It was hard to see how good the individual towers were as I couldn't really visually see how much damage they did...

    Help me test my tower defense!

    Bugs: * Rock Tower could knockback critters through walls so they got stuck. I'm guessing that your collision detection code either doesn't work properly. * After a wave with men looking critters it didn't go to the next wave (if one exists) Recomendations: * Make it possible to...
