I can program that for you Newen! Just wait, I'll be back on the computer soon! I will handle all of your programing needs! But in the meantime...
//It's too advanced to make an on screen one right now for I do not have the time, or the compiler in front of me, but I can whip that up for you later.
mob/Center()
  //this proc activates when the mob his Center (5).
  src.openMenu()
mob/proc/openMenu()
  var/list/items=list("Talk","Stats","Logout")
  var/C=input("[src] the [src.class]\[src.HP]/[src.max_HP]","Menu for [world.name]") in items
  switch(C)
     if("Talk")
        //expand
     if("Stats") alert(src,"// Put your stats here! //")
     if("Logout")del(src)

That's your basic menu (untested)
Just wait until I get back, I'll program an awesome game for you! Anything you want. I hopefully will be back on... around... Thur (or) Sun (at the latest)

Allright, I can't get on AIM because of the stupid school blocker, but heck, I'll find a way around it eventually! >:)

[EDIT: I am back on AIM, for about.. 20 minutes, so come online if you'd like.]

That's an overrated and a pretty bad way of helping someone. :P
It's better if he makes it on his own, though really the required thing to know is to override client/Center(), (not mob/Center(), mind you...) but if one actually takes a look before posting topics he'd know that already, from a quick F1 in Dream Maker, and whatnot.

Well, me and Newen have... a connection (in a non gay way).

Yeah, I figured as much, as you were more inclined to help/make it for him than you most usually are(thankfully you don't do this stuff all the time :)).

What the heck is that supposed to mean?
Are you saying that I shouldn't help people as often?

It only referred to the 'make code for people' part. ;)

Why though (I don't mean to cause a fight)
I just think it's weird, why wouldn't you want me programing?

No fight/attack anywhere here. :)

As implied by Miran;
I never said I don't want/you shouldn't be programming. I said you shouldn't be handing out (as said, ahm, making) free code to people as explaining to them until they accomplish it on their own helps them to learn much better, while handing out code can give a counterproductive effect (depends on the person, though), making that person just copy and paste it, and of course expect people to make all the future code he requests so he can copy and paste it etc. Teaching how to make something instead of giving it already done is always better (when it's feasible and possible, of course. :P It is in programming. Well, mostly.). Of course a person making something himself gets more than the sense of accomplishment, like knowledge and experience.
And you can understand why this applies even more to BYOND's rippers "community". :D
