    ^good advice that doesn't just apply to 2d spaceship games

    I think we can all agree that education is more life-changing than religion (though the two are tightly linked). We're educating children without them making an informed decision, yet you seem ok with that.

    Lol@Sever Hate much? You may bitch about people thinking Iran is bad with no proof, but you do the same thing to Christians.

    I'm recommending C before C++, not saying there's any rush to learn C. Keep going with python.

    I gave Continuum a try on Sun's free version of VirtualBox, with the DirectX extensions enabled, and it works quite acceptably. I was able to get a FPS of between 120 and 150 while flying around and shooting in Hyperspace. That's slightly less than I get running Continuum on Wine, but it's a helluva lot easier to setup with VirtualBox than Wine. I was running this on Gentoo Linux, but presumably the same thing could be done on a Mac.

    HMMM

    Even if the zone has too many graphics for *any* computer to handle, the spike limit can't be changed without adversely affecting gameplay. So look into the other options discussed by myself and Jowie.

    Python is a good place to start. Also learn C instead of C++.

    use the [code] [/code] tags

    Spoiler tags won't stop you from downloading it.

    It's on ssdir.playsubspace.com. None of the other ones are alive.

    I think Samapico means email addresses.

    /?info tells you that. It also tells you the kind of chat client.

    Who wrote that code? Using a char without specifying signed or unsigned is bad form. Any decent compiler should probably throw a warning.

    It doesn't have to be a single image.

    The problem was resolved before I even talked to anyone about it. Nothing was deleted. The account was just frozen, and now it's unfrozen.

    It'd take a few weeks for someone that knows what they're doing with lot of free time. Adjust this based on your experience level and free time. All of hyperspace's core files are here: http://bitbucket.org/drbrain/hscore/ if you need source for a specific non-hscore module, ask me for it. I expect everything you'd be interested in will be in the hscore repository.

    Publishing advertising material with mistakes is never acceptable.

    I only read the stuff in bold. ASSS can do all of those things, except having fake players take damage (smong wrote a module to do this, but it doesn't work well, and he hasn't let anyone improve it). Even though it can do those things, no one here is going to write the code to implement your system. We don't have time, and we're working on more promising ideas. If you want to program it, that's different.

    Write an email to someone on the council, and they'll forward it on for voting. Active members are preferred for timely handling, of course.

    That's a problem with your computer, not with the zone. Ram probably isn't the culprit, but video card or CPU. It could also be that you have a lot of other programs running. If you want to change music, and have media keys on your keyboard, you can use AutoHotKey to forward the controls to iTunes or Winamp, or whatever you use.

    We can't even update continuum on PCs; how are we going to get it to work on a mobile phone?

    If it had an apostrophe in "it's", it would be perfect.

    random.org says #2, (SSCQ) is the one to use. Case closed.

    I hate to be the guy to rain on parades, but don't forget that December holds Christmas break, and the associated population boost.

    It's easy to do with asss, if you're using that. I could even modify the module for you, if you don't have a programmer.
