For that I could've taken it differently, where I would explain that the features are more definable level design (size of bars and speed). But I took it as a insult, as this is something I had put my time into.Compwiz wrote:I'm curious as to why you're making this. Is it better than the real falldown?

Precisely... And that's where you made a bad decision.kalan_vod wrote:For that I could've taken it differently, where I would explain that the features are more definable level design (size of bars and speed). But I took it as a insult, as this is something I had put my time into.
I never get upset when someone asks me a valid question.kalan_vod wrote:I would think you would get a little upset also, not saying you would openly post about it.
Bad example, I started the PTI topic by giving reason, which reason has materialised into actual followers since then. Still, I saw questions pertaining the very point of doing it, and guess what, I didn't get angry at all. It's not hard, believe me.kalan_vod wrote:No, would I ask you to why you made PTI when VTI, Flash Debugger, TIELM (spelling) have already been made? No.
Please don't present your opinion/speculation as a fact. As I see it, you simply chose to be offended when you could have taken another, more fruitful route.kalan_vod wrote:P.S. Compwiz apologizing was just an attempt to cover his ***, once seeing that I wasn't happy with being ask the question he did and also seeing how some were reacting.
So I need to start giving reasons to why I start each project? And just because it isn't difficult for you to keep things bottled up inside or you aren't a angry person, doesn't mean that it is just as easy for others.CoBB wrote:Bad example, I started the PTI topic by giving reason, which reason has materialised into actual followers since then.

That is your opinion, it may have been mine to go the "unfruitful route".CoBB wrote:Please don't present your opinion/speculation as a fact.

Don't worry, this will be deleted, and I guess so will I.CoBB wrote:And sorry, tr1p1ea, but it's one of those rare moments... Rolling Eyes
I agree. We need to get a few things clear here.CoBB wrote:And sorry, tr1p1ea, but it's one of those rare moments...
And would one of those people be me? Well yes it is, I think I posted in there quite a few times..Timendus wrote:Heck; even Latenite or my networking routines get just a few solely positive responses. You just don't impress people that easy over here. See that as a challenge, not as a rejection.
The reason I apologised was not to "cover my ***" as you put it, but to just say that you were taking my initial post the wrong way. You took it as an insult when I had no such thing in mind. I don't know why we have to have a huge argument, and accuse me of going to the dark side because I asked a simple, innocent question. As I have said repeatedly, I did not mean to insult you at any time. As my initial post stated, I didn't say anything like "why are you working on this Basic trash?", butCoBB wrote:Precisely...

As I have stated, I think that your version of falldown is very good for a basic game. I never stated anything to the contrary. My initial question that stated that I was curious as to why you were making the game was just that: idle curiosity. Usually, if I'm going to work on a project that will take up a good amount of time, I have a reason. It could be that the game hasn't been made before, or that I want to add in some features that weren't present in another version of the game. Or maybe I just feel like practicing my Basic making another pong clone or something. Your answer ofCompWiz wrote:I'm curious as to why you're making this. Is it better than the real falldown?

many posts after my question is exactly what I was asking for in the first place. As I mentioned, I am impressed by your skill in Basic, and the accomplishment in making this program. I expressed this in my following posts in an effort to show that I was not in any way trying to insult you.kalan_vod wrote:the features are more definable level design (size of bars and speed)
Contrary to what is posted in that topic at omnimaga, I said earlier in this very topic that there are places that basic is very well suited for, and that you are pushing the boundaries of basic to encompass things that were once only done in asm.compwiz seems to have joined the dark side, the side of ppl who keep telling others to learn asm since basic sucks, lot of ppl at mc did that too because they followed the trend
To show that all I try to do here is help others in the best way I can, and by that I mean keeping them motivated. I really look forward to many projects, but without people showing much if any interest it is very hard to stay motivated.Timendus wrote:Absolutely right. I'm not sure though how that has much to do with my point?
