.....and?

I have skipped all the programing languages till now when I left Apple II environment of Basic. For me it is a quantum leap to XNA and C# and yes from my prespective it is an altitude difference. I like wikipedia and youtube as environment and can work in both. That is a more social progamming language enviroment for a Demographer. World population in 1844 was one billion, today 6.7 billion and by 2050 in 43 years it will be 9.1 billion. So that is a step up of 1 to 9 billion in 200 years,

whatever allows me to get my ideas across in suitable media is fine with me, its a step up, not the step down you are making it seem.

Do you have a youtube video to show the c# program in action. Good on you for making a game and reporting on it because it is an XNA game

[RoddyYoung]

wow I hope open source suits you better then

Bit late for me to respond, but I've made 2d games in c, c++, flash, and XNA. My first game was done in c 10 years ago.

I am not arguing for a globally accessible free games network in the scale of youtube, I am arguing that you are a disgruntled human being with small ideals, that rather than embracing an idea that could revolutionize entertainment, you would rather spread ignorance, because you cannot embrace the concept.

I agree that clicking to make noise with your fingers is easy. Programming computers is far more zeros and ones. To flick and not to flick. However this site is about linking programming to a place in youtube.

[nap010]

its a fanboy with confused priorities, hoping that making games would be as easy as clicking his fingers.

Write some xna code and I will look forward to it in the shops. Now you have seen this video you will know other videos by comparison. I hope you have a long life and realise that his video is dealing with a new concept at an early stage.
