    I wanna make an MMORPG ;)

    Ok guys just posted here to tell yas I wanna make an MMOOORPGG or ...however you spell it.
    Hey just cuz I can't spell it doesn't mean I can't code it.

    So far I've got a console window up but I don't know anything about C, C++, SQL, databases, multi-player code, DirectX, OpenGL, or anything else. I typed some stuff into the console window at the prompt and that's all I know how to do.

    But if you want to join my team, let me know.

    Any advice would be helpful.

    I thought MMORPG was Make My Own Rocket Propelled Grenade until I discovered game forums

    Mmm, the outcome of newbies trying either is probably about the same though

    I can program the AI because I saw that movie with the boy from Sixth Sense and he had AI.

    Ill program the network part, I have worked with sockets before, made a program connect to another program and then disconnect...
    STL Util a small headers-only library with various utility functions. Mainly for fun but feedback is welcome.

    I'll handle the coding in directX. I know everything that is X-rated Direct-X should be something similar.
    Code:
    >+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.[-]>++++++++[<++++>-] <.>+++++++++++[<++++++++>-]<-.--------.+++.------.--------.[-]>++++++++[<++++>- ]<+.[-]++++++++++.

    We share all of the profits right? Dude, sign me up. I'll be the guy who nobody can ever contact but who demands equal billing since he helped with the "design" process by drawing a rough sketch of a battle bikini. I'm pretty good at not answering emails, ask my family for credentials.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Done.
    It needs to be more fleshed out than that.

    Level 1 - Kill some rats
    Level 2 - Kill some bigger rats and some snakes
    Level 3 - Dragons

    I'm not sure if we'll want to change that.

    Sorry, you spelled "DOS" as "CONSOLE". You are not qualified.

    Oh, and I know VBA, so I can make the Linux port!
