There is a subtle Crazy-fools mention on the Servers page (2nd Half).

Very nice Stucuk. Nice and simple guide and a good bit of advertising

Good find

I didn't find it . (Look at the very last line of the page under the copyright bit, "This website is a part of the...")

Well aren't you just a budding web empire!
Looked at your other sites, how long have you been actively working on Project Unity? Looks quite promising!

It started in 2004 and ended in 2005/2006. It was the 2nd Engine i worked on. It supported RTCW's cutscenes (Camera movement, subtitles and i think the audio voices for them), physics based doors, buttons and breakable surfaces. It also rendered the menu's (RTCW's menus were not hard coded but controled by menu files) and played there ROQ video format. It was never finished like all the engines i worked on. Helios being the first (Which was a modified of Harry Paintner`s Q3MapView. Unity didn't use Q3MapView's files but was built from scratch based on Q3MapView). Meaaov was the 3rd, which used Source's VBSP's instead of Quake 3 BSP's. In 2008 i stopped working on Engines and started making my own map editor as all the free map editors available were either crap or limiting. Though due to things getting in the way i stopped working on the project in 2010/2011.

I am not currently working on any Engine. I did however make a small one on Holiday this year which can read VBSP's, very basic however.

Now to recreate frostbite 2!

I wish I could code, I can just about make a web page! I'm one of those people that can deal with "physical stuff", but not things that you can't see directly (like electrical circuits and programming).

I had a play with the Unity engine a while back, but my computer wasn't powerful enough to handle it, so I had to give up.

I can make a HTML text paragraph and that's about the extent of my abilities, one day I'll learn to code with java and make Minecraft 2.... one day...

If you want to make a game Java is not the best language. The problem with Java is that it uses a Garbage Collector for memory. With C++/Delphi (I use Delphi) you have complete control over the memory and can allocate and free the memory when you no longer need it. With a Garbage collector it works out what memory is no longer needed but it wastes some CPU time on it every so often and between checks the memory usage will continually rise. So if you use a language where you have full control you can get more performance out of the game.

Java has helped minecraft simply because its alot easier to decompile. Then again if No.tch made a mod API years ago the community wouldn't need to decompile Minecraft to make mods.

Overall it would be better to use C++/Delphi with a scripting language like LUA to make it easily modable.

Thanks for the helpful information! I'll probably start out with something basic...like basic and work my way up from there.

One of Delphi's strengths is that it uses the Pascal Syntax. Pascal was designed as a language to teach people programming. Unlike Pascal, Delphi can do everything C++ can. Its simmiler to Basic in that it uses English words for the Syntax (i.e Begin/End instead of { and } ).

Delphi's Syntax looks like:

procedure Bla;
var
A,B,C : Integer;
begin
A := 5;
B := 6;
C := A + B;
end;

Stucuk's mind

One site i would recommend is NeHe. Its got alot of OpenGL tutorials (OpenGL is an API for rendering 3D objects on the screen. Minecraft uses it. The only other API is DirectX wich is evil) though to my knowlage it doesn't have any tutorials for OpenGL 3.0 or above (Which require a modern graphics card).

One of the great things about NeHe is that each tutorial has been translated into multiple programming languages.

Thanks! Super useful for someone as coding challenged as me. ^-^

I found this site quite a while back when trying to learn the basics of pascal. http://www.taoyue.com/tutorials/pascal/pas00.html
Easy to follow and it gives you the basics which you need to get started.
If your looking to get started, either grab a copy of delphi (if your lucky) or get a free pascal download which will let you code in, its what i did but then again i'm not good at it one bit

I have tryed to learn flash (actionscript) and java programing, i cant find anywhere to learn it tho.

Funnily that Hello World code would work in Delphi if the project was setup to be a Console Application (Thats an app that spawns a DOS like window to write into instead of having a Graphical interface).

When it comes to learning the best way in my opinion is to look at other peoples code. Find some open source code which does what you want to do and work out how it works, play around with the code and see what your modifications do. (Obviously you want to start with more basic code to begin with)

Like i said above i started with 3d Engines by modifying Q3MapView. Start with simple modifications and work your way up. Though don't believe that other peoples code is the correct way to do things. Quite a few times its not.

i agree with this, once you've got some basics in line and you have an idea of whats what, having a look at other peoples stuff and playing with it helps alot. With what little i did, i did find playing with it helped alot
