I've heard you can pick up java pretty easily after learning C++ and vice versa, so I don't think language would be an issue...

Phase is right, so we're all set there, from what I hear, C++ will be the way to go, so I think we should all decide on that.

Subject: Re: Programmers Needed! Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:51 pm

I'm all for C++, I've had a little experience in Shell and Python (As well as PHP and HTML but you know...) but by far the language I'm best at is C++.

Great news to hear then Gilgamesh, I'm gonna have to study up, so far I've done 90% of my stuff in Java, time to learn some C++. When I'm not so busy, I'll try finding some source code, I already have an IDE for C++, so I'm set there.

I have a fair amount of work this semester, but I can lend a hand from time to time if there are small tasks to take on. I know C++ well, and I could probably learn Java or Python pretty fast.

Since I've worked in C++ quite a bit, if you guys do end up using it I can answer quick questions (or try to debug code with inane compilation errors) for people who learned in Java.

Thanks for the offered help 2.72!

So far we have about 5 programmers right now right?

1. Me
2. Grimzag
3. Gilgamesh
4. 2.72
5. Phase Metal

Is this right?

That's right, but I'd better learn C++ >.>

If you can complete any one level of it (not level section, full level) you are officially 1337. Firelord is the easiest.

Haha, don't worry Grimzag! I think we have about a week before any coding starts, so take that time to learn if ya want, if not, I'm sure some of our more experienced coders can help out the lesser ones.

I think 5 is a good number, everyone agrees?

Subject: Re: Programmers Needed! Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:16 pm

Sounds good.

Pending everyone elses' approval.. I say we start dividing up work, so when the time comes, we'll all be ready for our parts. Any suggestions?

Subject: Re: Programmers Needed! Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:26 pm

I have some experience with using data structures and very little with GUIs and interactivity. Guess I'll take the boring bits ;)

Hrm... you just made me think like crazy Grim... maybe we should try to tear apart this project into pieces... what pieces are there anyways? We have characters and menu obviously, what else ya think?

Subject: Re: Programmers Needed! Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:32 pm

In all honest I think it is a little early to be doing that. I think we need to sit down and plan out what exactly needs to be done and once everyone agrees on what has to be done then we can start sorting out who does what.
I mean, it looks like everyone is okay with using C++ but aside from that what exactly have we agreed on? Do we have any confirmation about what modes are going to be implemented or what file formats the music and images will be in? I haven't really looked at M.U.G.E.N. yet but it just seems that all we have are ideas floating around in everyone's heads and that we don't really have a solid image of what the game will be yet.
Basically I think we should wait for some words from Faceless. Get some actual information about the game, down to the really small details. Then start planning it out and then start dividing up tasks.

Alright, good point Gilgamesh. Time to do recon! WOO!

Subject: Re: Programmers Needed! Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:36 pm

Basically I just think everyone should be on the exact same ball before we get it rolling. I've never had any experience in group coding but I think it's extremely important that we are on the same page before any work is done.
