MONEY! I hate Runescape. Let's sue them. They lose money, we gain money, all around good. If we are lucky, Jagex Inc goes out of business. I inform everybody about some inexpensive new game they can play, everyone goes to that game. The makers of the game (Me and my coder friend Matt) get filthy rich because we listen to suggestions and people tend to like that. We hire teams of coders and even more suggestions are taken. And BINGO! We have the next WoW on our hands. Even if it isn't pirate themed. Then we can make another game. Sky Pirate themed of course, entirely my idea. Just like the game that I spoke of earlier. Which Matt is going to start working on as soon as he learns C++. Can someone tell me if it's easy to learn C++ if you already know C? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
