I never had any embarrassing, sarcastic, troll posts of ignorance and stupidity. I've been perfect since I first joined in 2005. So perfect that you all should consider yourselves highly privileged to even be here in my presence, inhaling my oxygen that I am so generously allowing you to breathe.

You used to be a noob. A big one, like the rest of us.

LOL- you win. Don't know anyone that can top that. Unless.. No, Whybe/Dr.Penguin wouldn't post on here; he still thinks his posts are serious questions that in no way show lack of intellect.

Wow guys why don't you guys ever understand me i just wanted to learn how to code to be like Silk Wizard, Kumorii, Darke, and Lord Andrew. This community is horrible i tried my best every day to code every dang day just to make all of you happy i tried to stop using developer help. I tried to make you guys happy i even stopped using am what more do you expect me to do i was 10 at the time 10. I came back from a break just to learn that everyone is still the same

Nah, just me. I never change.

Nothing you do should be to make anyone but you happy, though. Hail Mary.

My first few weeks of programming I would compile a source while the game was running and get the normal error that you would once the resources were edited and would think I broke it and delete it :P

That's still not as bad as me throwing a fit when I first started simply because I didn't know what "indentation error" meant. I literally spent hours trying to get one proc to work when all I had to do was hit tab on one line of code.

I had that problem for the first day or so, I believe it was the first time I actually used that key.

I formerly had a problem where I written a simple tileset for some grass or something and since I put \turf it wouldn't work, and I spent hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't work. If I hadn't gotten it pointed out to me I would of never figured it out.

That was a stupid indentation error as well, I thought my DM was messing up since my tabs where all fine.

DM can do much more than just a top-down RPG, and it doesn't take many painful adjustments. You just need to think outside the box.

Making a sidescroller merely requires you to create a control for gravity.

Make a board game.
Make an isometric game.
Make a 3/4ths perspective game (Rather than top-down).

You can even make a text-based game.

Yes, and side scrolling and isometric both used to be very inconvenient and it was too processor and network intensive to implement.

BYOND wasn't built with the intention of being used for top-down RPGs, that's just what exploded.

Actually it was, and it sure as hell wasn't built for side scrolling i.e. native pixel movement didn't exist for a long time. BYOND was initially built by Dan to be a top-down RPG MMO, but after some contemplation it was converted into a game engine having the same tile movements and basic features that supported that intention.

I remember this one from 2010, on my old BYOND account:

It's a little embarrassing to come back 3 years later and find out "Loduwijk" was right. :P

I've known Loduwijk for over a decade now and can tell you this: it is not often he is wrong.
