Using the terminal is as simple as writing the command and typing 'y' and pressing enter... Then it takes care of everything for you.  I don't see how that isn't super easy.  Using the terminal doesn't even require tar.  Besides, auto updates are nice.

Ah, yes, PHP would require more than GitHub Pages, so your website is worth your purchase.  Still, because you have a domain already I highly suggest playing with Ruby on Rails or Sinatra sometime - you may find them to be very lovely.

Bluehost has that beat by half and is pretty comparative service wise. I maintain a couple of business sites hosted there from time to time and haven't ever had any problems with them.


They seem to have picked up a negative reputation for some reason, but I've had multiple domain names managed by them for well over 5 years and never had an issue with their service or support. Maybe those people aren't huge Danica Patrick fans. Haters going to hate. LOL

Got to love BBCode. Works like a charm now.

Indeed! Me and my father work where it's hosted, so I guess that's just a perk of being in the web-development department.

I need to find you a big book on GNU+Linux. One of the 4 essential freedoms of free software is the freedom to distribute modified copies of said software. In this case, that is a GNU+Linux distro/distribution. The one I got you started with was Ubuntu, and Unity is simply the desktop environment it now uses.

Also, instead of swapping the colours, You should find a way to outline the font with something different, and you could make the shade of red darker.
Good job on the new design!

The text hurts my eyes.

And is unreadable even if I put up with the pain.

hmmm... okay, but i still want big, BIG, BIG explosions 

I removed your other post; if you're going to double post then I might as well just merge the two. Instead of "sorry if I am not supposed to do this" just don't do it. You should know better.

Ah, I see. So are you using VBOs? Just wondering!

Heh...with 7 year olds on call of duty, 13 year olds on l4d isn't that bad...

Ive been playing L4D for years, prolly since I was 13.
Graphic content can be handled differently by different people, some might get scared or break down and cry but others may not be negitvily effected by it. Furthermore playing games (Graphic games) led me into programming, so I would argue they've had a positive effect on me personally.

If your trying to say they're illegal or somthing (for minors), they're not. It is illegal for a vendor to sell a M rated game to a minor, but not for a minor to play M rated games.

People mess these up so much.
VA: Vertex array, used to store vertex data.
VAO: Vertex array object, used to store vertex buffer states (attribute pointers and stuff).

Guns:
Pistol, Machine Pistol, Shotgun, Automatic rifle, Sniper Rifle, Machine gun, Granade Launcher or something, Laser gun.

Honestly, it depends on what type of game you want to make. Generally, procedurally generated terrain games have more replay ability because they are completely random, giving you different scenarios every game. The downfall is that you'll need to do more work to prepare your mobs for the different situations they'll come across.

Premade terrain is nice because you can design the levels down to a t, and then you could even randomly generate objects in to make it look more unique. You can have prebaked collision meshes so you don't have to worry too much about collision, and users can create maps.

For your game, I'd combine both. Make a room creator, and then customize the rooms with randomly generated walls and other objects.
