Just because something hasn't been done, does it mean its impossible?

2. Coding takes ages to correct if you make a mistake.

Compare the time it takes to correct an easy to make mistake in C, to that in BYOND. In C, I used several hours tracing around a single error through gdb, and came up almost empty handed(And that was to discover the actual error). It takes me an average of 5 seconds to correct a compile-time error in DM, and that for the most part is finding the actual line. Some take longer, like runtime errors and impossibilities(Things that I thought at the time might be possible, but turned out not to be.), but it still pales in comparison to the time it takes to correct something in C.


Granted, im not the most experienced C programmer(far from it) but the time difference is huge. Correcting mistakes in a programming language is alwease time consuming, nomatter which one you are working with.

Theres only easy solution to this;

If anyone knows a programming language that is easy to work with, has online capabilities and is totally free.
Speak now, or forever hold your peace

The reason a lot of people ended up here, is because that is exactly what BYOND is. Some people choose to view their own flaws in a language, as faults of the system(Which is too bad, especially with a jewel like BYOND)

I know English isn't your first language, but just for the record, it's "always". It's one of the weirder words in English. ;-)

Ah, thanks. There are some words that just won't spell correctly for me(Now there's one less!)

I think one of the problems here with Radditz *is* language - you will probably never be satisfied with a programming language if you've little experience in programming or programming design - and I'm not talking about Apple BASIC, C64 BASIC, or QuickBASIC, (useful in their own right) but experience with more sophisticated modern languages like C++, Java, PHP, Perl, and the like. BYOND appears to take some of the better concepts (OOP) of these languages, and puts it in a framework for game-design (although I would imagine BYOND could to other types of applications if need-be).

Ya gotta do it yourself to appreciate the skills involved in programming...

(although I would imagine BYOND could to other types of applications if need-be).

BYOND is already used to run the Dantom host site which handles uploads and downloads between users and their webpages.

And there's even a version of it that generates dynamic webpages for doing the same thing without running Dream Seeker.

That's cool, Spuzzum! I've thought about using BYOND as a web server of sorts - just to see if it could be done. All the mechanics seem to be there...

But I suppose it would not be practical to develop the equivalent to MSWord, or a complete operating system...wait, I take that back: linux commands are nothing more than complex verbs - hmmm... maybe it would be possible for a BYOND-created OS, or even a web-based OS...hmmm....

So, Radditz, you can do nearly anything your want if you put your mind to it!
