  1. You know what? Why not just learn it all I looked into C and it seems to be a tricky language to learn. But then again, I'm not sure if RS-232 would be even useful at all. As the article stated, it has been replaced by USB so wouldn't I be learning a dead language in other words? It may be easier, but I don't see it reaping me benefits. Just read the excerpt from the article..."Today, RS-232 has mostly been replaced in personal computers by USB for local communications."
  2. Well I don't exactly see a tutorial for C here so I guess I'm off to Google it. I guess that book on PHP will have to wait for now. Well thanks for your help, I'm sure to find the knowledge I seek now. Also on other note, I found a site that might help me out with C. C programming tutorial. You think this will be good enough for now?And by console I was thinking of a gaming platform like the Xbox... an Xbox console... guess you were referring to the computer hardware. Yeah I'm not too bright on computer terminology. Guess something else I might want to learn. And as for chatting with IT faculty, I could but it would just seem easier to not deal with it.
  3. Oh... well at the moment my goal is not to create a complex game. Work on something basic such as do-no-touch-the-walls type of game will do for now and I'll work my way up from there. I'm not too sure what type of coding I will need, for there seem to be so many. Staying away from larger tasks, I don't want to work with a console, just creat a simple program that would run as a game. Something you might see on GameJolt.But you are right that its still fun, I've enjoyed most of what I have already learned. XML I can use on Playcrafter (again a kids site), but its not to my fullest interest to stay there. But would PHP good to learn for my goals in the long run?
  4. Hello, my name is Grant (if you haven't already figured that out), and I'm moderatly new to programming. I have (X)HTML almost downpat though I have yet to memorize the tags. But my main interest does seem to be in game design, since I love playing flash games thought I might give it a try. Adding to that, I'm a 15 year old freshman in high school and thought I'd give programming a shot. I've had my fair share of forum activity, since I am a mod on another site. Hmmm, well knowing that its a kids site I don't think I'll get a lot of credit for that lol. A little more about myself; My favorite hobby is playing guitar, which is another thing I'm working on, and enjoy camping on the computer :)But anyways I'm currently brushing up my knowledge in HTML, XML, and JavaScript. Although I have boughten a book on PHP, I thought I would learn some basic Web Design beforehand for a bit more basic introduction to programming. If you have an idea of what would be best to start learning for game design please contact me in any way.
