If only I could get myself to stick with learning another programming language... If only there was something as easy as DM, yet just a tiny bit faster...
On a side note, please enjoy my newest creation, shootah!
It forces you to program as efficiently as possible, as well as fully utilize as many built-in features as possible. If you took the worst programmed game on BYOND and made it even worse (but still playable), a game written in C++ with a similar mess of code would probably still run faster than BYOND's finest.

The game's cool.

Shootah needs an update!

Sorry bro, I don't think I understood what you said. DM forces you to program as efficiently as possible? What makes you say this?

Actually, I disagree but agree(yeah, I probably am starting this out sounding dumb). I agree that DM seems to have problems with wanting to run slow, but disagree with the fact that if you program efficiently it will still run slow.
Ya gotta understand the machanics! Although, there are a lot of limitations. I have recently been thinking of using DLL files to process information. I feel asthough this would help relieve presure from the running world. Also, I think you could even go as far as using javascript for things too. This would cause client side cpu usage and also releave stress on the world(which technically this would all be using DM efficiently since DM is using these things ;p. However, I havn't tested the DLL way(due to lack of C++ knowledge and lazyness). | |
Also, gotta say Kaiocho I was suprised to see the pixel mouse detection. You are actually quite the programmer =). I gotta ask though. How did ya do it? Did you use a bunch of objects or just one? I'm curious to know if someone else figured out my way of using the one too! ^-^
