Re: The End

But no, this one was Tal's. My only complaint is that because the Official List post is locked, I couldn't quote it -- instead I spent an hour copying the basic text and reformatting it by hand. Grrrr. :D Well, definite points for remembering where it was and all the reformatting work, anyway! And ...

Re: The End

Kimny, that's an excellent piece and you're 99.999999% right - and as another professional programmer, I doff my cap to your very sensible arguments that I haven't seen many people make.

Josh is an incredibly talented and smart person, he could have easily made it w...

Re: Where to be notified about code release, and any fan-based projects to bring LT-like games to life using code?

Developing the logic is not that much less work just because its done in a scripting language. One minor point about this: the reason a script language really is much less work for developing the game logic, is because high-level languages provide more facility than low-level ones. Example: I want ...

Even a random half-refactored mess would be usable for someone interested. There is a chance that he doe...

Re: The End

...buuuut he'd be legally obliged to use the money he receives for the code to refund his backers. Anyway... speaking as a (not-game) developer, I don't think anyone is interested in buying someone elses unfinished code... you'd have to invest at least a month or more of work into investigating the...
