The way you present those game ideas makes them seem a bit "weird". That doesn't necessarily mean they're bad -- just "weird". I tend to think I'm a little weird from certain perspectives, but I don't think that makes me a worse person. I'm sure the person you address when you say "you" cares whether what you're saying that person did was actually done by someone else. Would you care if I said it was you that said "im in ur comp"? If so, you might want to reflect on that when you consider the question "Who cares who said it?" While writing games in C++ might seem like the most important thing in the world to you (or not -- whatever), you should realize that you're talking about writing games in C++ in *a Ruby discussion*. It's *way* the hell off-topic. While a certain amount of off-topic-ness is certainly tolerable here, and we do occasionally talk about using other languages, we don't generally try to hijack discussions so we can get advice on how to write games in a completely different language. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Dr. Ron Paul: "Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons."
