dang necro, i nver knew u had these  skills and yep sounds good!!
guys, wat if i want to vote sci-fi fantasy like XenoSaga? and by classification, wat would u classify MegaManBattleNetwork games as? rpg? cause i sorta wanto do that, but instead of chips, we could have cards
then again, guess i'm getting ahead of myself, should go by necros list...

As a note: when the game is done, if the code is well planned and structured, we can edit the data to make a new game and be able to reuse most of the original projects code, and further more, chucks of it could be switched out to create diffrent kinds of games (like taking a Reign of Legends and changing the battles to a Mega Man Battle Network style, or vise versa.)  The trick is to pass data and not code...or IOW, make each 'chunk' a fully functional program that has a syntax to its execution, as such, any game can use it by aplying that syntax.  {kinda like objects, but not crapy and as iritating}

ON TOPIC: 13 people can vote (unless more are added) and 9 have, 5 days till voting ends...and it looks like I may end up having my calc as the tie breaker, if the remaining 4 voted though...we could start ahead of the game

I could be completly wrong about this, but I'm guessing that ti84silver and katmaster haven't voted as I haven't seen them active in days.

What is Roanoke?? I've never heard of it.

I like the idea of making the games using the sub-programs that we can use to make other games.  This may seem a little tedious for making the first game but then we will be able to make several projects using the same structure like you said.  That would save us some time in the end.  However, that would mean a lot of coordination between who's making the sub-program and who's making the program that calls the sub-program.

That is why I will, once we have specified exactly what it is going to do, sit down and write out a list of sub programs we need and exactly what vars they will pass between each other (and subsequently what those vars mean)

that might be cool and since ff has time period it can be either sci fi, medieval or both while keeping FF magic stuff and items

nope sub programs actually make the whole game run slower when there are a lot, itsd better to not use them, unless you run out of memory

i mean when there is like 9-200 sub programs, but again I was using fg instead of resource and codex as well so this caused problems and I had to split them into smaller prgms
