No - my job takes up most of my time/energy. I love programming for the Psx, and designing/writing games (I want to go into this as a career), but I don't get paid enough to live if I work part time at my job. If I could have a solid month to work with the thing, without having to worry about money, I believe I could become quite profficient. Especially if I was working on a project (which is where I learn the fastest/best). I can easily come up with my own projects, though (I always have at least 10 game ideas going around my head) > 2 - Do you regularly read the various news groups? I've gotten back into it lately now that I've forced myself to sacrifice some personal time for Yaroze fun. > 3 - Do you contribute to the various news groups? Yep, I try. > 4 - Have you created a working program? Yes, I finished Faces of Evil, an Asteroids-type game > 5 - Have you posted the program and/or source to your member page? Yep, both, they are right there under Joshua Meeds > 6 - Do you regularly visit other member pages? All the time > 7 - Do you look at the resources on the other Yaroze sites (i.e. Europe > and Japan) Yes, there are a lot of interesting projects out there. For some interesting ones, check out Team Fatal in Japan, and their new international version of... whatever that neat 3d adventure demo is called (it slips my mind), the one that is very Landstalker like. - Dreamwriter Dragon dreamer@sinclair.net -==UDIC==-
