For which engine? McCode (sadly) I believe? And what exactly you need the help with?

Peter asked to close the thread, so I will do it.

I wonder why it should be one of the biggest elections in your life? I mean, it's like any other for me (non u.s.). I see why you u.s. guys see the 2 candidates differently as the european people, but I don't see how this election differ from the previous one for example.

Removed posts of that guy... was way too much spam, so no need to comment it out more ;)

Actually Kyle, things changed. Intel CPU are faster and more powerful than AMD, and NVIDIA cards tend to be faster than AMD one too... Also NVIDIA offers CUDA which let run some applications on GPU. AMD does have something similar but softs tend to use CUDA not AMD counterpart. Personally, I would go for the intel, nvidia route, but you are of course free to have a different opinion ;)

Yep the number of mods is growing, officials or not. I'm happy about it. And as always it's a piece of cake installing them even more so, since you have it fully integrated inside the module manager: 1) Admin panel 2) Module manager 3) See which new mods there is => click on the link => here you are all done for you (download and install)

Cool! Thanks for the info illusions.

Peter did the PSD, but all the HTML / CSS and coding is from me. However yes it's a good job from him.

Never said McCodes is good, don't take me wrong. Just it has tons more of mods (good or not), and a lot more people using it which end up in having more help. But yes, going away with the default theme is a pure pain in McCodes as all is hard coded basically.

So I hardly see any advantages for it... Same sort of code, same sort of results? Then why not pick V1?

I never saw the code, so I can't judge from that. However isn't it like any other McCode / Torn clone as default result?

I would say too it's dead... pick another engine if you start something.

Java => Ecplise, Netbeans or IntelliJ The last one being the best for most

I stopped using Java quiet some years ago. I personally liked it when it came out, it was incredible compared to C / C++, even if at that time there was a huge performance hit. Also the promise (which never really worked out) to run everywhere was interesting. However bugs, stability and quick deprecations of the language (between versions you had to rewrite, recompile your old code if you ever wanted to keep it) simply killed any possible interest. Today I work mainly with C# / .NET and I'm way not alone in this situation if you check the market share. Java is still interesting if you want to develop on Android, or if you want to make some web development for big companies which didn't moved to .NET yet.

There is a lot of free php hosting. Yet I suggest you to install yourself xampp on your own PC and test things there. Also, before going too far, try to first understand what a web page is, how some PHP works etc... otherwise you may simply fail to understand what you do and try randomly things before stop.

Indeed as it is under "GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE" which states that if you run the software on a server and let people access it, you must also let people download the sources. Which means, if you make a game based on it, you need to give away the sources of your code... Maybe not the best solution for a game which want to make some money.

Me wonders why you start so many projects while finishing none. Anyhow we just had somebody pointing at an open source TCG engine, so why not check that one?

If you do it right it works... so check carefully, and re-try.

Not possible to register and not possible to login with the mwgmember? Good demo thanks for my 5 min time lost :-P

Currently I don't have any time for freelance coding. Too much of my "free time" is taken by the NWE engine.

Then why not use it?

Chicka idea is interesting yet would need a lot more work to define what / how / why: a story line, rules, game features and more. Hedge would be my runner up, it's a good start. And the winner for me is Octarine. Reasons: A story, an idea, and even some work done. Certainly the most detailed entry in this contest too. Congratulations to Octarine, wasn't expecting an try from you ;) anyhow, head to http://www.nw-engine.com, register an account, then PM me your username there, I will add you a full license right away.

Well not something easy to create if you want to make live PvP card games. Doable but not easy.

Here is a minimalistic port (not the one I would use), if you don't know or want to use NWE functions and just want to make it work:   <?php /****************************** > CREATED BY oxidation > NOT FOR RE SALE FREE MOD ONLY > COPYRIGHT 2008 ****************************** > PORTED TO NWE BY A. Bertrand ******************************/ define("horseTicketPrice",300000); define("horsePrize",2700000); $horses = array("Dorke", "Wickwear", "Shandy", "Warsky", "Propeller", "Shalasy", "Rickmond", "Yowelle", "Crossbone", "Eastporse"); if (isset($_GET["horse"])) { if ($userStats["!Currency"]->value < horseTicketPrice) { echo "You don't have enough \$ currently."; } else { $userStats["!Currency"]->value -= GetConfigValue("horseTicketPrice"); $winner = rand(0, count($horses) - 1); if ($winner == $_GET["horse"] + 0) { echo "You won ".horsePrize."\$! Incredible!"; $userStats["!Currency"]->value += horsePrize; } else { echo "No luck, you bet on ".$horses[$_GET["horse"] + 0]." instead ".$horses[$winner]." won the race.<br><br>"; } } } echo "Want to make a bet of winning a high amount of bars? Each ticket costs ".horseTicketPrice."\$. You may choose which horse you would like to bet on. If you win, You will recieve the winning prize of ".horsePrize."\$.<br><br>"; if ($userStats["!Currency"]->value < horseTicketPrice) echo "<b>You don't have enough \$.</b>"; else { foreach ($horses as $key => $val) echo " [<a href='index.php?p=horse_racing&horse=$key'>$val</a>]"; }   As you can see, the only thing specific to NWE in this version is the $userStats array. That could have been replaced as well with DB instructions, but honestly it would only make the code more complex.
