Make a Massively Multiplayer Blitzball game!!! That would be awesome. I am not very good with DB (In fact, I basically have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm working hard) Any body have any ideas on Gameplay and such? Also, if you haven't played FFX, I feel incredibly soory for you. I would like ideas so I could put them into a written document, showing good... stuff...

I have also made a written document on a Robot MMO game. Has anyone played Virtual On by Sega? That is the main game I would like. You basically walk around, find people, find a battle arena, and use giant customized robots to fight. You can also wager on your match and win opponent parts. I can't think up a control scheme for this, and i have tried for many weeks (possibly months)so help me out please.

Ofcourse you have tried for months. You're trying to run when you cannot even crawl.

It's always the same advice: Start with something small.

Oh no, I am making these so that after I know what I'm doing, I could possibly make 'em.

Chances are you're thinking too much of the big picture right now. Pick on inifinitessimally small portion of your dream game, then write a small program to perform what is required of that portion in a small and easily controllable environment. You probably know how to make blocks move around, so don't bother with that one. Try implementing a text based battle system (even divide this up into portions: attack phase, defense phase, additional modifier calculation, rewards), as you complete each module you'll eventually be able to stitch them together.

I'm at the stage where I can start good games, but I often need to go back and start with the basics. I'm suggesting you do the same from time to time in order to get better and master the language. DB Classic Rules!

Cheerio!

I am no noob.
