Congratulations, Quigibo! That's awesome! I wish I had the stamina to run a marathon, but I definitely don't. Props to you!

Code: [Select]
X-M*getKey(2)+M*getKey(3) -> X
That won't work. You're forgetting about the left-to-right order of operations.
Code: [Select]
M*getKey(3)-(M*getKey(2))+X->X

I have four cats. I've fostered well over 40 cats. I've also owned dogs and fish and lizards and rats. Animals are awesome! :D

I do freelance programming and web-design, but I'm not actually employed by a company, so no...


Edit: On the topic of colleges and stuff, you can find programming jobs and internships that don't require college degrees, but having a degree (or at least being enrolled) will give you a MUCH higher chance of getting the position. There's no law that states that a company can't hire you until you have a degree.

Edit 2: I am friends with a few programmers, designers, and QA people for some large industries such as Disney Interactive, Dreamworks, and EA Games. They've all given me pretty much the same answer when I've asked about the best route to take right now. Basically, the most important thing that you can do right now is start getting a portfolio together. Put yourself out there for small projects that you find, even places like Craigslist. Offer to do it for very little money, or even to do it for free, just to get some projects and references on your resume.

What kind of Celtic music are you interested in? The song you posted is fairly atypical for traditional Celtic music. There's some pretty great stuff out there.

Here's something from the band Altan:

Music Showcase / Re: JC Attempts Piano

Having had playing piano for >10 years and having a teacher that bitches over every little tiny thing, I have some contructive stuff :P seems that the timing is very unstable in some parts, though the dynamics were decent.
This is my comment, too. Especially when you have that repeated line in the right hand in the beginning. You need to make sure that you keep that consistent based on whatever tempo you're playing at. So even if you have a ritardando in there, you still need to keep consistency in the timing.

I'd say it's definitely possible for it to be done, but I would also question whether it's actually worth the trouble. If it really is worth it, then it would be pretty interesting to see what could come out of this!

I tried going to the official website and it froze every time I pressed a key in the game.  That's why I linked the other one, not trying to crash people's browsers :P
Yeah, there are focus issues with flash and the other scripts on the page. You can't play them on the official site :\

Are you guys talking about the PM window, or the in-chat (PM) nick message text?

Also, how the hell did I miss this thread
Both. It doesn't last in either. Also, I think I already posted a thread about this...

Axe / Re: [tutorial] Program Flow - Platformer
« on: July 20, 2011, 02:10:00 am »
hmm maybe I'll post some more tutorials on the same thing ( program flow ) but for different types of gametypes.
That would be so awesome! I'm not an organized person, so organizing my code and program flow is really the hardest thing for me.
