Anyone out there that is intermediate to advanced (in other words, not newbie, been programming for a while) in programming skills that wants to be a coding buddy with me? This is mainly for learning and gaining even more experience but right now, I'm working on finishing a Pong game. We would make a lot of simple games and share ideas and cool stuff. If you're interested, post here your name, e-mail address, and a little description of your experience and anything else you think I might like to know.

Tazel,

Read through the thread on OldGames: Making Games from Old to New. Especially the recent posts.

Also check out:

The website is going away soon and being moved...but it''s up for the time being.

sure! I''m no pro, but no newbie either. I''ve used allegro game kit for a year, but have shifted to ClanLib to use pure C++.

I hang around the (unofficial) ClanLib helpdesk at http://www.sacred.dk .. come drop a note and lets talk

What was the point of that post? I don't see how it would help me by reading it. I can't even find it!

Tazel,

The reason I posted the OldGames thread is because there is currently discussions about starting a programming project made up of about 5 people. I thought it might be something you''d be interested in.

Additionally, we just finished a Pong game and they''re moving on to Super Breakout.

I''m sorry you couldnt find the thread, it''s the only thread in the "beginners" forum that has over 90 posts. I''d check again.

Best Regards,

Sorry, but I''m afraid that I might steer people in the wrong direction. I''m not that confident with my coding skills yet to lead other people. Again, Sorry. I''m just looking for person willing to work on projects with me and finish a couple games together and give each other pointers and things like that.

Might be intresting. I''v been programming for a couple years now (granted not strait but) I have a basis in Visual Basic, Visual C++, and all aspectes (excluding D3D) of DirectX 7.0. Because I lost the old SDK kit I am now learning the newest DirectX8.1. But I would be more that happy to give tips and set aside some time to go back over more basic stuff with ya. And I think making some simple 2d games would be fun. anyway e-mail me if you are interested acidkobra@hotmail.com.

The only thing that defines man from animal is our knowledge of computer programming.

Tazel,

I really think you should at least read the thread. No one asked you to lead a group. The group is in the process of being established. If anyone is leading the group it's me. =) Check it out will you or quit complaining. The site is for beginners with some coding skills and a basic know-how of game programming.

Tazel,

I''ve just finished a Pong game too using SDL...I would be interested in tinkering on some other projects with you, but I don''t have TONS of time for it...so nothin big. =D

If you send me some ideas we could work something out I think.

Email me at exorcus@exorware.com

I also have a buddy who is just getting into C++ who may be interested in helping.
