I've got one more assignment to do for college before Friday, and then I can work on the things I want to. A friend of mine suggested I start with a puzzle game and I've got one in mind so I'm going to run with it. I have until September the 15th to create something, then I start uni.

Inconceivable. It's like the world conspires all at once to torment me. I'm like "Ok. I need 10 minutes to myself at 6:30. 10minutes." But no! 5 minutes till, my mom calls and tells me my aunt is swinging by and needs me to recharge her car's a/c. And she shows up Right at 630.
It's fine. I can...still...do...this thing...between...conversations.

I just had this thought on how paranoia could be this evolutionary survival instinct and how people who need help the most are reluctant to ask for it. Because if you feel you're a burden to society, it might be true. So for the sake of self preservation you can't go accepting food scraps or whatever from just anybody. Not only could it be tainted, it could be poisoned deliberately just to be rid of you.

Amy, I've never tried making an MMO. You've gotten started on an online game at least a few times since I've been on this forum. Any specific reason why those efforts led to dead ends? Or are they actually good starts to projects abandoned for non-technical reasons?
Coyote, I'm sure paranoia has a very useful evolutionary reasoning behind it. I'm not sure I see the relation to reluctance to asking for help though. I guess I could see the connection now that you've made one, but I could also just as easily point to cooperation, empathy, generosity, and altruism as being useful evolutionary traits. Lots of other animals display traits like that, and not just caring for their own offspring: tortoises that flip each other back on their feet, whales that save seals from being eaten by orcas, adult animals fostering animals of other species...

as long as its fast and supports multithreading, most languages are probably fine. python for quick rewards, or java for longer term development are my go-tos, but ive never made anything with high demand with that soAmy":11d7tr3e said:
python is probably the best in terms of libraries & ease of use vs speed - server tech is a grind most of the time (because you dont get any results for it, and need to make everything twice, client side and server side), so for a hobby project python is probably the best way to go
that said, i havent investigated thread safety in python so maybe it actually sucks idk
i did make an rmxp netplay server in ruby 1.9 years ago and it worked relatively okay but it definitely wasn't an ideal or large scale solution
