Ok, good news! Today I signed up for school with at least 8 hours of C# every week  Grin


Also, can an admin move this to a forum that is not the newie one?

We are not "reselling" the images. Mojang haven't copyrighted the block images used in-game and actively encourage them to be used in web designs.
Sorry that I ask, but can you link to the page that proves your point? As I'm interested in selling minecraft themed styles too.

Oh, darn.  I just wrote like the longest post ever, and apparently I was logged out in the process, and when I clicked submit it just said "login to post," I hit back, and my post was gone.  Now I'm logged in and too annoyed to write all that again, but I will later.  The main points:

- Can you make Android or webOS games?

- I work in the field of early childhood education (not a computer background at all) but I'm interested in making apps/games on a hobbyist/enthusiast level for Android or maybe webOS.  Can you suggest a starting point (what programming language(s) to learn, any useful links/etc) if you know anything about that stuff?  I obviously don't need to know anything incredibly in depth, just simple coding stuff so that I can use the android SDK and free APIs.

- Have YOU ever thought about making apps/games for iOS/Android/webOS/wp7/blackberry/etc?  I think you'd make more money doing that than selling games to individuals for a bitcoin?

Thanks!  I'll remember this once I actually *have* a bitcoin, haha.
I'll get you started, the android platform is really REALLY well documented  Smiley
But for iOS you have to have a mac. (for so far as I know of)

Here's your address : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
The language you use for Android is Java, and the best IDE for java (and android) is eclipse, you can download it here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
(i think i have eclipse classic, not sure)
Install the plugin as said here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then you can follow the following tutorials: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html

And then you're off to go Cheesy

I don't do skype or msn.

I just meant a small sample not the whole thing.

I mainly do C# but from what I've seen and head javascript is a whole lot more forgiving.

P.S. I really only expected to be PMed with request to help code a section of your game or search for bugs(assuming you did want my help)

P.P.S I hate to sound picky, lazy, or obnoxious. Embarrassed  I want to be as helpful as possible(I'm in it for the fun not any possible payments for my services) Smiley I'm just restrained because I don't want to offer something and end up not really helping and becoming a bother. Cool

Can't wait to see how this turns out whether I'm part of it or just a spectator. Grin
javascript isn't exactly the easiest language to make a game in :p
I'll keep everyone updated in this thread.

I'm sorry, but reselling images from minecraft without the permission is forbidden :s
7  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin for a game - A young students view on his life (and bitcoin) on: August 24, 2011, 11:58:33 PM
Good Luck! It would also be cool if you figured out how to use Bitcoin inside a game. I would definitely support that.
Since I love bitcoin, I'll think about it :p
Any idea how I could use bitcoin in a game?

Apparently my googling hath failed me. Explain please?
I think he means, open up msdos (by typing "cmd" in the search bar by the start menu) and then CD mapname to go to the directory of cgminer.

What level games are you programming?  Are they 3D or 2D?  Who does your graphics?  Can we see a free example of your code?

Sorry to bombard you with questions but I'm always information hungry. Wink

I can't wait to see how this project of yours turns out.  Maybe I can join you if you don't mind. I'm less than 25 myself.

P.S. I'd love to code some AI for you or anything else you have but I'm not sure If I'm experienced enough compared to you to really help.

P.P.S. If you want to do this on your own I understand, I just thought I'd offer my humble services.

haha, no worries  Cheesy

Atm I want to start with 2D, since javascript was also 2D. I do the graphics myself, since I'm a graphical designer for websites for quite a few years now  Grin
Ofcourse I can show you an example of my code, but the only code I can show you at the moment is the javascript game with my bud, and I ask half a bitcoin for access to it  Undecided

I'll dig arround and maybe find some C# projects with Microsoft XNA developer  Smiley

Also, it'll be nice to be in touch with someone with the same area of interest, PM your skype or msn  Smiley

Sounds great! Do you know Actionscript or have any experience with HTML5?

Actionscript 2 or 3?

And yes, I have experience with HTML5  Smiley

Hello there! And thank you for the time you are taking to read this.

My name is Whitebird, I've been using this name since the beginning I started programming.
In the beginning it became clear I wanted dedicate my life to programming.
Now After some years of experience (mostly learning bits 'n pieces here and there) I became an experienced web developer.
And now I want to shift my abilities to game programming.

The reason for this change is ; I turned 18 last week (yaay!) and that got me thinking, How far I am with my life, what I want to do, how will I make money, ...
You know what I mean Smiley

What I want to say is: I want to devote my life to programming, starting from now on. In the past I tried and do a bit, but now I want to go for it.
This school year I start at the High school studying applied computer science (not sure if that's the correct translation).

And now for the real deal  Cheesy

Almost half a year ago I stumbled across a curious thing called "Bitcoin", tech savvy as I was, I tried mining in Slush's pool for a month, but I got an Nvidia card, so it was really, really slow, and did not have a good income. So I quit that and Bitcoin was on the back of my mind.
But today I started thinking, I want to make games, and I love the idea of Bitcoin. (I see a connection there)

So I start a little project I call "Bitcoin for a game". (also, if you want it, it can be "Bitcoin for a program")
Basically it means you support a young student eager to learn informatics making programs; and you help (a little) financially.
By financially, I don't mean heaps of money, I mean a symbolic coin, for the effort.

So you want a program, I make it. That's it!
You contact me and we'll have a chat (no beer, sorry Sad )


As an example of my experience I made game called "molenspel", It's Dutch at the moment, but it's really simple in use, so that doesn't really matter. It's a javascript game.
This I made together with a dear friend.

I'll let you play that for half a coin. (screen coming soon)




What do you guys think about all this? Do you think I'm mad for thinking someone will support me, think this is a stupid idea?
Hate it or love it, I'd love to hear your thoughts Smiley

With kind greetings from the rainy Belgium,

-Whitebird

Sure the layout is important, but again, I think users will accept simpler designs and an efficient service (of course they would love an efficient service with a lovely design ;-) but for the moment this is not a priority). Paypal should give the user the confidence that "satisfied or you money back".

I'll give an example of what I mean:
http://www.bordercolliebes.net/
Simple. Small. Easy.

I can send you the blank html, the css and js now if you want.

I cannot emphasize enough that layout MUST be a priority, it'll surely put off several people.

Also, be sure to take out the battery and run solely on the adapter's power, otherwise the battery will get damaged
14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: FreeBitcoin paying out? on: August 23, 2011, 08:59:26 PM
Same problem in Belgium. Three surveys and too much personal information.
I even have to send a text to my cell to claim it, I'm not stupid :p
15  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm selling BTC through PayPal! on: August 23, 2011, 08:43:01 PM
I see as this is a beta you don't have a nice layout. But Not having a good layout may put off certain customers (like me).
It really proves how professional you can be.

(On a side-note, I'm willing to do a custom css+html (javascript optional) design for you, in bitcoin or paypal  Grin )
16  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Game Studio BTC on: August 23, 2011, 08:38:01 PM
I dunno, but I am a Game Studio that accept BTC Cheesy

But I only got a single sale so far (someone bought the first lesson of my course on how to make games, for 0.1 BTC)
Actually i would be interested in that lesson.
What language is it in? What IDE, etc ...
Since i can't PM yet, can you answer in this topic?

Thanks in advance
