Re: In what OS do you code?

Well, you can't really code in iOS last time I checked. But most of the time it's Linux. Preferably natively. Why? Because the tools that I need (VI, Erlang, grep, etc.) are all there and I don't have to sit there and think about how to tie them together (not even Cygwin gets rid of this proble

Truthfully, they're not shy when it comes to things such as DRM, closing off previous more open standards/software and just don't really give back to the OSS community as much as they take. I own a Mac mini and I'm so-so satisfied with it. In Ubuntu, I love it in comparison. On Fri, Jun 14, 201

If you want to make a game, then make a game. Don't worry about looking "cool" about it. You don't need to have some feature to make something entertaining :) . I'm making a game with a tool called GameMaker. Not as full-featured or powerful as with a programming language? Sure, but then I wan

Yes, but are you saving time with this? What types of games do you want to make? RTS? FPS? RPG? What's the platform that you're targeting? No offense, but I've seen a lot of people like this (me including :) ), who want to learn technology X for... wait for it... to make games or something els

The only thing that I've seen do what you describe successfully is Erlang (it's called hot-swapping the code and no, it's not easy to implement :) , a worthy project nontheless)... and as Adrian Tillman suggests, it's most likely Notch isn't working on the gaming engine directly, but rather on a su
