 January 7, 2008 - 12:49am | I'd like to help with this project, or a variation on its theme. If the ideas I put forward below aren't something you're interested in pursuing for this project, would you (or anyone else) be interested in helping me start a different project?

 January 7, 2008 - 8:27pm | I have made a similar offer and well, I think I am on my own in this area. But anyhow, no one wants anything from a real game programmer. Yes, I went to a college to write game programs. I have been working on an sf game for ten months using advanced programming. I already have one in qbasic, gwbasic, and ms basic. It won't run in windows xp or higher, Crashes often in 2000, win 98 or lower it does fairly well. In DOS it does superb. |
 January 7, 2008 - 11:44pm | Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. This project was started by Blackchip, and we haven't seen hide nor hair of him in quite a while. You two can work on this together. |
January 8, 2008 - 11:20pm | Does anyone besides Blackchip have the code on which he was working? It would be a shame to have to start from scratch. Unless Gilbert, you have a different idea for the code language and want to re-invent the game from the ground up. Again, I have little talent for coding, but I'm a fast learner... Also, what is the status of the other requests from this forum, such as re-designed ship markers?

January 9, 2008 - 5:56pm | Come to think about it, Art Eaton has produced an Emulated Knight Hawks. Perhaps he was under the alias blackchip. Or maybe he and blackchip worked together and I just missed the credit to blackchip. Art hasn't been back on the site since I identified him as Wolfe and ripped him a new one for talking down to me for the fiftieth time. Or maybe he's just wriggling around here under ANOTHER alias. |
 January 15, 2008 - 7:08am | I don't know what ever happened to BlackChip. I was quite excited about his project -- I also have considered such an endeavor. If anyone else wants to take it over, just email him using the CONTACT tab of his profile page and ask him for his code. If he doesn't have the time to continue, he just might share. 3.

January 24, 2008 - 12:53pm | And to you I hand a mirror. Get off my back. |
January 24, 2008 - 5:50pm | Alright you two... I think you guys need to just let things go a bit. Will please lay off Corjay. Corjay please lay off Art. We really can all get along here. I don't want to have to referee arguments... I do enough of that at the gaming table :) Please be respectful, okay you two? 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our

January 24, 2008 - 6:22pm | Blackchip has forwarded me the code that he's written so far. I'm a beginner programmer, and I have no experience w/ C#. I'm just starting out with learning the language. As soon as I am remotely competent, I'll start adding to the code that Blackchip wrote. I'm going to keep to the framework that Blackchip set up, but I'll also try to add in a single-player mode and some of the other ideas I had above. If anyone has advice on the best places to learn C#, I'm all ears... (note, I can't really afford the time in "classroom lectures", but I'm going through some of the Microsoft video lectures online).

January 26, 2008 - 1:04pm | The only C I'm familiar with is from school and not in a good way, if ya know what I mean, Vern. Seriously, I think there's a Dummies book on C code out there somewhere. Other than that, the MS vid lectures are your best bet. "You're everything that's base in humanity," Cochrane continued.

However, I'm willing to learn if you point me in the right direction (online resources, books, etc).
