   Join The AIM Game Developer Circle
  Hello,My name is Gregory Bennings. On my AOL Instant Messenger buddy list there seems to be a giant void. That void has been icking me for quite sometime now. I've been programming in C/C++ since I was 13 and I am now 18 years old. I am an aspiring game designer and game programmer and possess great interest for the game developing field.The purpose of constructing this topic is to obtain AIM SNs of fellow aspiring game programmers and designers such as myself. I will have a group on my buddy list reserved for these group of individuals. If you feel insecured about leaving your AIM SN in such a public place then privately e-mail it to me at Trigger1286@juno.com My AIM SN is Lingmac9You don't have to be any of the following but I'm especially looking for these kind of people:For Programmers:2D Game Programmers(in general)2D/3D SDL/OpenGL Game Programmers3D Game Programmers(OpenGL or DX, doesn't matter)For Designers:Those guys who like to write stories.RPG Game DesignersAction/Adventure Game DesignersPlatform(Mario, etc.) Game DesignersLook I'm not saying this "Come learn game developement from me, I'm the next Carmack!" I'm just saying, "Lets get some game developers together and lets talk about game development. Lets ask each other questions so we could help each other out."   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh."[edited by - Lingmac9 on March 20, 2004 6:32:56 PM]

[edited by - Promit on March 20, 2004 6:08:00 PM];  yes but here it may take hours to get a question answered, on aim, its real time.   Sharp Basic - Coming summer 2004!typedef unsigned long long int me;typedef signed short char you; ;  I knew someone was going to say that. Some people prefer instant messengers over message boards. On AIM you could talk to your buddies whenever they''re online. Our chatroom meetings are almost daily. There is no harm in participating. You could post here and be a member of the cicle at the same time. I don''t understand why the next five people that will reply to this topic will oppose my idea.   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh." ;quote:yes but here it may take hours to get a question answered, on aim, its real time. Very good point. I asked a question over at the OpenGL forum like 30 minutes ago and it still hasn''t been answered. I''ll just came online to ask such a question and I''m still online because no one answered it yet. I''ll get offline when my OpenGL question is answered.   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh." ;quote:Original post by Promit  [EDIT] There''s also an IRC channel if you need realtime convos.   ;  What is your point man? There is a message board, there is a IRC channel, and there are also AIM chatrooms.Meeting on AIM serves the same purpose as being here and purpose. Why are you going around AIM? Do you dislike AIM or something?Please guys. If you''re not interested in joining the circle then don''t reply to the topic. Quite simple as that. No one wants to hear your opinion on a certain instant messenger client. Some people like IRC, some people don''t. Some people like AIM, some people dont. Some people dont like message boards but still post because they need help. Unfortunately for those people they have to wait hours upon hours for a response. I''m trying to grab the attention of those who like AIM and do consider themselves game developers. I''m trying to round those guys up. But I know for a fact someone''s post will serve as a roadblock that will prevent me from reaching my goal. Please don''t block the road. Just stand at the side of the road and watch me drive by. Please guys. I just brought this car.   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh." ;quote:I don''t understand the facination of AIM users and their AIM circle... Please explain. Who says there is a fasination man? I''m just trying to recruit people who have the same interest as me. That is all. I''m not trying to kill anyone here damnit. If I made a topic to recruit ICQ members more than likely most of you would get excited and probably submit your ICQ number. I don''t have an ICQ client I have AIM. So I''m trying to find people.That''s All -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh." ;quote:Original post by Lingmac9  Meeting on AIM serves the same purpose as being here and purpose. Why are you going around   AIM? Do you dislike AIM or something?Well, I once installed aim, and uh, oh, the spam I had to remove from my computer after that.  It was even so bad that aim automaticly opened if I opened outlook express. ;  That never happened to me. You probably had an older version or something. I''m not sure.   -----------------------"In reality God is a comedian but his audience are too afraid to laugh."
