Who of us are programmers and what are you working right now?

[tom_mai78101]

Currently doing nothing as of programming. As a student, I suddenly got more free time than I anticipated. The dreaded feeling of not being productive and not earning anything for 4 years is now overwhelming to me.

iOS is only free if you steal it

Which is impossible to stay under the radar.

I got a job as a teaching assistant at our university. I teach basic java to the new students.
I bet you could do something similar.

I'm also trying really hard to apply for a teacher assistant. I just don't know if it passes or not. Either that or at least I'm trying to apply for a scholarship.

To add a bit:

Windows is only free if your lawyer and accountant's time has no value.
Windows is only free if your money is worthless.
Windows is only free if you threaten to use Linux!
Windows is only free if you pirate it!

Windows largest competitor is pirated versions of Windows.

And if anyone cares, I'm trying really hard to get a job as a medical transcriptionist.

Good luck with that! But what does a "Medical Transcriptionist" do?

 

[Varine]

Transcribes medical stuff.

 

[FireCat]

Transcribes medical stuff.

Oh you so funny! Hmm Well, have fun with that.

 

[Varine]

I will not, I assure you. However, it will be in a hospital and that's the primary topic.

 

[FireCat]

Okay. But why do you want this Job so badly?

 

[Accname]

I will not, I assure you. However, it will be in a hospital and that's the primary topic.

Oh, poor varyne. Dont worry, soon you will be out of it again. The evil doctors will not do you much harm anymore.

Remember that little WIP game I was making? Doesn't matter if you don't. I've since added a bunch of new skills and refactored some of my agent code. I even improved the AI a lot (even though it may not be obvious from the videos).

I put a lot of videos on Facebook but some are on Youtube.

Well, only three videos are on Youtube at the moment, lol. These videos aren't that impressive =/ All the awesome skill displays are on Facebook =(

Anyways, the "trap trap test" video doesn't show them laying traps really well. It's been improved on ever since. I think the spin slash video shows the slimes laying their traps a little better.

Edit:
Eh, the spin slash video is coming up. I'm uploading it right now..

 

[Accname]

Looks nice.
Whats this game about? Right now its looks like a simple hack&Slash.
What language do you use to code?

 

[camelCase]

Yeah, hack n slash. I've got a bunch of skills like a meteor, shotgun, tornado, fireball, etc. There's no real point to the game. You basically head north until you die. You can unlock skills by finding them in treasure boxes or killing bosses. And you can hire mercenaries if you have enough coins. (Which are earned by killing monsters).
I use Unity (Game engine) with C#.

I am currently working on a fantasy RPG project. I am coding it all by myself and that thing has become HUGE already. Its melting my brain; whenever i want to add something i have to keep so many things in mind not to break an other part of the game.
Until now i have always worked alone, but recently i have been thinking, that maybe i should work with somebody together. Code's killing me.

I am considering partnering up with someone, but I'm sort of expecting something in return; Something that can make me buy food and pay bills.

You want a parent.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Noooooo. I will not become a parent!!!!! Just not in this state of poverty yet.

Sounds like bad architecture to me =P
Just kidding. Yeah, I know some changes are just "that" kind. The kind that make you have to weasel your way through existing code. You know what I do when I encounter changes like that? I spend a good solid few days refactoring code till I'm happy again.

Sure, I waste a lot of time for one crappy feature that doesn't justify the time spent on it but.. Programmer =P

I'm coding alone, stealing art assets or using public domain stuff until I'm ready to release. Then, I'll hire some pixel artists to replace all the stolen art.

 

[Accname]

Its not only when i need to change something. Just in general.
The entire program is huge now; anytime i add another feature i have to keep in mind how this will fit with the existing features. It supposed to be a game so everything needs to work together.

 

[camelCase]

Sometimes, I question my priorities =/
I wanna' add more skills to the game because the whole point is to unlock skills to make boss fights *hopefully* easier and move on to harder AI and enemies.

But I also need to add, I duno, actual levels and proper enemies and bosses in the first place. All I have now are two actual levels and no bosses. But I can't stop trying to add skillz. I am so phailz.
