Game Maker Coding; Anyone?!

- Well, I'm not really into this, but I'll try to get better at doing all this... stuff. -

Does anyone on the forum know ANYTHING about GM Coding? I suppose Kilik would know something about coding, right? Well maybe not GM coding, but some kind of coding thing. Like how you did that random banner generator thingy.

Oh and GML (Game Maker Language) Coding.

I've learnt a little about all this. I could make a REALLY bad game, but maybe it'll run and not have any bugs in it.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated, even if you don't know, that's all right, this is kinda random stuff.

[/I]- Oh and one last thing. Answer this: "What's the largest number you can make with 3 digits?" Think through this carefully, it's rather hard, but some of you may get close. If any of you get it, well, you're as smart as me. And if you already knew it, c'mon, don't say you figured it out... like me! -

Heh, it looks like Sirias want sto laern how to make games.

Well, there are a lot of different coding languages that are based on creating many different things. Right now, Flash is one of the most popular, but if you want to code an entire game I would suggest using Java or Java 2. Other codes such as C or C++ can be used to create applications that the computer is capable of, as in a calculator, data organizing, calanders, and stuff like that. Of course I've made some pretty neat stuff with C++, such as my very own chat bot. Once you run it, you talk to the person in a command prompt window and if the bot detects that that message has a reponse, it will respond. Of course, it sees the letters as variables and values... Other than just letters.

You'll never find out a complete "How to Use" guide on the internet for Java/Java 2/ Etc... But if you go to a bookstore like Borders, Barnes & Noble, Waldenbooks, or some store near wehere you live they sell books that show you how to do it for around 30$. I would suggest using the "Java 2" For Dummies book... :lol:

Out.

- We're going to be using G-Java, so we can open it as an online game. Free of course. I'm only helping with the coding, a little with the drawing (sprites), and I'm supposed to ask ANY of you for advice. -

I'm learning most of what the GML Coding has to offer from my cousin. Right now, I've hardly learnt anything, but I'm getting a little into it. Me, my brother, and my cousin, are all working into making the game. His parents as supposedly setting a storyline for ANOTHER game, which so far sucks, and I'm the one who is to create the story from scratch. I've only gone a little in-depth with the story, only getting the beginning out of the way. Still, I can also do some drawings of the enemies, characters, buildings and such.

I don't think I'll be much of a help towards the coding, because my cousin is learning how to do the G-Java thingy and he's going to help the creator when he can (2 months is an estimate) but he'll be a bit late and probably only do the finishing touches. I know about the variables and values, but so far, most of it is a blur and means totally nothing.

Any more help would be good.

And Neo, you were no different to any other. It's not 999. Meh, that's what I thought of first, until LOTS of influence and a HEAP of drawings to make me understand what it is. Think of something that makes the number bigger than just writing it. Remember, it's not a number you can WRITE, it's a number you can CREATE.

A spriting forum? Ha, that would never happen. It's not like it's under the "Artwork Gallery" forum or anything like that. And it's not like we called it "KilikAJI's Portfolio" or anything like that. No, of cource not. Go aheah, check it out, it's not there. Yes... o_o

- Ok, the largest number you can create in a mathematical equation using three digits and any symbols. -

I already do know a lot of GM Coding (my cousins helping me out a lot, it's more or less him, not me who's the GM Coding psycho), and I'm trying to learn Java (very slowly with my cousin, lol).
Well, the only things you guys can do is sprites I guess. Ace might be able to help and Kilik... well, spriting. Neo, you can do all that *pro* Photoshop things, although I'm not too bad, I do all of my Avatars and Signatures myself, but I'm doing them all really quick, because I can't be stuffed taking ages (look at the top and see the banners, the one that's red and has a cross going through it is mine, that's about a mediocre thing I can do, although, I can't really be stuffed going higher than average) :blink:
Oh and can you send me some of your stuff, *please*, and then I'll send some back. Oh yeah and Kilik send some of your sprites aswell, I'll send over mine (well it's more of my brothers than mine) over to you.

My e-mail is:

ilubmyjubjub@hotmail.com

And my AIM is:

Unreadability

Hey, can't you just see these at the bottom of my post anyway?

My class in school is now covering both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, so I have both those programs at my disposal, as long as my own personal Adobe Photoshop Elements too, so over time I can help with that at a more professional level. I also know HTML and little Java as well, obviously, since I must use it constantly when running and managing the forums here. Eh, as for now, I can help sprite, Sirias. But... what are we spriting? :mellow:

- Lol, that's a good question... -

Well, we're making a 3D games (maybe only 4 directions) but 2D battles. It's kinda like the first final fantasies. Anyway, you can't exactly sprite anything specific, just do anything.

So far we've only got the 2D heads (Hair, Head, Eyes, Mouths etc.) and all the weapons and armour (like 200 different types... >.>)

You can sprite anything 2D and 3D. Just have varieties of colour and sizes. I'll make sure I put up the examples later, but right now, I can't be stuffed!

Well, it's our MMORPG that's gonna have a story (WOW! An MMORPG with a story?!?! ._.) and likes actual plot twists and quests that have a significant effect to the story, unlike, run around, level up, die, resurrect, level up, fight, etc etc etc...

You don't have to work on anything NOW, because it's more like an unknown presence so far, once you see what WE can do (not much) you'll be able to sprite similar to us, instead of doing all these random out-of-place ones that are either really good or really bad (in our opinion)

I'm not sure if this is ever going to be released, we'll probably stop, then make another, then stop, and so on... hopefully not.

I'll make a story when we know what it's going to be, and then post it (I'll probably be the one creating it) and you guys can give me some advice or hints at what I should alter to make it better.

Oh, and if anyone can make cool backgrounds, please, be my guest! (just don't totally rip them from games)

Lately I've been working a lot with Photoshop, as you can see from the new buttons I've been posting. Maybe I can put some of my skill with it to good use making some sprites. And also I've been working with HTML and Javascript too, but I haven't learned that much yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more work done tonight, like with waht I've been doing with the forums.
