ok gamer making i think we went through this the other day.

firstly try to wrap your code in code tags.

[ c o d e ] your code [ / c o d e ]

remove the spaces to use the tags.

secondly, I know your enthusiastic regarding sharing information and everyone is at a different level of expertise, but you have to reframe from posting this code in the wrong section.

if you really want to contribute, look firstly in the search box for something your posting thats similar, if there is nothing similar post it in the code snippets board.

I know you mean well, but being sloppy and thoughtless about it, doesnt help you and anyone else to learn this great package.

it might also help to write a little more about what your presenting. this way people will understand more and it will show that you clearly understand what your are presenting as well.

good effort for trying, cant blame you there, but its time to focus your energy so its not waisted and confines to the forums rules and restrictions.

Gamer Making, most of the time other people new to Darkbasic read the help files too... so you don't need to post code that you just learned from the help files.

Quote from the help files in Data Types, Variables and Arrays:
Quote: "A variable is used to store a value. It's that simple. You can have a variable that stores any type of data, and you can have as many as you want. The following program shows you how the contents of the variable can be output to the screen:

A = 3 + 4
PRINT A
"

how can you POSSIBLY call this cool maths code? Far cooler is i dunno, using mechanics to write a physics engine, or using trigonometry to make a clock hand which follows the mouse, or using 3D line equations to design a hit testing system.. How, in hell, could you ever call simple addition "cool maths code"? I mean really...

Your signature has been erased by a mod - 404kb is a little large, don't you think? Nope not really, but heh, ur the boss

no,
a = 3 + 4
print a
print a/2
print a*10

is cooler than
print 3 + 4
print (3 + 4)/2
print (3 + 4)*10

Well, if he's this green at coding...he's probably new to being flamed. Chalk up 1 experience point for each new skill earned.

(that's 2 experience points total)...

Why are you all still replying to this useless post? All you guys are doing are bumping a stupid post and over-flaming someone. If you can't handle something in a mature fashion, and avoid dragging other people down just because they thought their code was cool(even though it isn't, but that is not the point) There are no rules against posting code snippets on the forums, and until there is, leave people alone. You all make mistakes too, and the day you don't make mistakes is the day you will actually be perfect enough to make fun of those that do. So, shut up, grow up, and get something better to do.

They are just jealous they did not post it first ... lol

(big sniff) I just love the smell of Flamed Noob in the morning.

just kidding everyone.

On a serious note though getting excited over this stuff is cool. He is learning it for the first time and coming to the realization that it will have an impact in his abilities to code, however this should probably be posted in the new comers thread rather than here.

Good Luck

Dude, seriously, you are not funny. Just because someone gets a bit overexcited about their code does not give ANYONE the right to poke fun at them. You should be more mature than that. If there wasn't a rule against religious discussion I would tell you that being perfect would make you better than God, but that isn't allowed on here, so I won't. But I suppose you wouldn't care anyway. Let Gamer Making have his fun, and if you don't like it, keep your insulting keystrokes to your fingers. I am sick of newbies being dragged down on the forums. I hate when people do this crap. It is stupid, and once again, you guys are just bumping a useless topic.

I didnt insult him anywhere. I was trying to make a point, you're overreacting over one small example of what happens to every programmer at some point in their life. Theyll usually start out asking (to the common computer savvy) relatively stupid questions. At the same time, they'll try to up their popularity by either trying to pump out an amazing creation, or by taking the "Teacher" approach. Either one will tend to result in flamage, there'll be one or two people that feel sorry for the guy and will try to fight back (thats your part), and then the creator of the post will either ignore the thread completely, or respond with anger "omgz you guys r jerks i hate u al im leaving for good".

A week, or a month, however long it takes, later, they'll come back, take a bit more of a mature approach to things, but still get "flamed" (such a stupid word) for most things they do. As time progresses, they'll learn more, and soon they'll "evolve" into one of the flamers.

It happens to everyone, all the time, all over the internet. I understand you feel sorry for the guy, true, he was just trying to help, and also true, most of the posts on this thread weren't needed, but it just happens, and will continue to happen.

Let it go.

Soroki, I don't consider my message to be insulting (so I doubt you mean me). But I look at it like this... you have to check out his posting history. He has been posting for a while and most of his posts are pretty much useless... and it doesn't appear he's learning... or even acknowledging what the mods tell him.

This is going to seem harsh:


Here's the score on Gamer Making:
6 Totally pointless threads
4 Locked threads ( 1 a team request )
4 Gimmie da codez threads
7 Look at this cool code threads
---
21 threads of uselessness since he started posting. 1 post was ok.

It may seem like we bash newibes just because their new. But it's not like that... we bash newbies because they don't listen to us and learn from their mistakes.

Soroki, listen to the words of the great and almighty Grog Grueslayer. He tells the truth.

It just so happens that Frozen and I go to the same school, so if you think we are the same person, you could not be more wrong. I often login at his place as well, okay? I am just going to let this topic go now, and some of you have some good points. I guess I was overreacting to this.

lol indi soroki comes over my house every weekend. he doesnt have internet in his bedroom yet and rarely gets to use his moms computer to get on.

But i gotta say.. its the constant flamming and insults in this forum that make me stay away from it. If the moderation was a little better and helped a little more instead of acting just like a regular member would, im sure the place would be a welcoming spot for all people and not just those who are elite in their code or those who can make joke.

well i have got some news for you! you are a beginner and the code you post isnt helping anyone, it's just copy/paste from the help file..

i dont think he was insulting you.. he was just counting up the useless posts you have made..

Team requests are ok if their done exactly the way TGC want them done. Team Request Rules: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=team_requests
Why do you think your team request thread was locked?


Quote: "anyways dont tell EVERYBODY ABOUT THOSE POSTS!"


Anybody can see that list just by hitting "Profile" on any message you make and clicking "Search". You can look at the threads that I've started (or anybody) if you want by doing the same thing for any post. Now that you know your threads are easy to see... will it change the way you post messages?

Quote: "i just trying to help beginers"


I agree with Lucifer on this matter.

Quote: "and secondly i did not look through darkbasic help files at all i learned it somewhere else."


So it was mere chance that you used the same variable and the same math that was in the help files and the same statement at the end. That's pretty amazing.

Quote: "How can you just insult me like that grog!"


I'm not insulting you I was just showing Soroki your history. I have nothing against you. I like newbies and love helping them because we are all "newbies" in some way or another. If you posted a message where you actually need help with something if I can help you I will. But your messages have so far been nothing but junk. If you don't like the truth that's your problem.

Posting only to impress people or to help newbies when you are also a newbie will only get you grief.

Stop posting junk messages... we'll like you much better and will be much more willing to help you when you have real code problems.

Learn from this and think before you post.
