Keywords: survey
Next week is finals week and then it's Winter break. As it is, my list of things to accomplish during Winter break is relatively small and slowly diminishing. As such, I need something to keep me preoccupied during those long winter days where I find myself absolutely bored.

So I've decided to do a public survey of sorts. The idea is that I ask you what I should work on over the Winter break, then you write in the comments of this post something relevant to the question, preferably answering it to some extent. Restrictions for answers:

  • Must be programming or technical design related
  • If it's a programming project, it should be language agnostic unless it's DM-specific
  • May or may not be relevant to BYOND


The first two are restrictions, the third is more of a statement. I'm terrible at anything that isn't programming, and the thing I'm least terrible at in the other group of items is technical design. I will take a weighted average of the serious answers and determine from there what I'll be spending my spare time on.
Make some DM video tuts wiff commentary since someone on this forum refuses to take into account my suggestion.

Or make a DevChat. Something I've been wanting for a while.
Take time and make a game that wont take forever to develop. Leave room for future updates, and be proud of your accomplishments. Then submit it! ;)

I recently found my microphone which was packed away in the bottom of a closet that was blocked by a couch. I also found that the microphone doesn't work anymore.

I also recorded a test video and put it on youtube to see what resolution works well and gives me decent code readability. I'm pretty sure my laptop has a built-in microphone so I might try putting together a video tutorial soon.
You should figure out an algorithm to generate puzzles for games like this. =P
Build a program that siphons off money from large banks, and have that money go through an amazingly long laundering process before eventually handing off the money to me.
Make a game, woman.
I'll go ahead and make a response to these first six comments, save for Enzuigiri's because Forum_account's covers it.

Yusuke13, D4: Any genre recommendations?

dkyle/dt: I'll see if I can actually get the game to run. BYOND is refusing to do it right now.

Techgamer: 60/40 split me/you?
Dungeon crawler.
Write an article about pre-optimization v.s post-optimization and their disadvantages/advantages. Also, write another article about how important modular design is, since a lot of BYOND developers lack in both of those areas.

P.S. You better do it!
