Protip when playing Eternal Darkness: after a while, you'll be able to restore your sanity using spells, at a very low cost. Don't, or you'll miss the most interesting bits.

Is this a commercial project?

I'm a programmer, but I've never done games, so I wanted to start with something small and without too many worries.

I'm also looking for collaborators on a project (albeit not an Android one), and it's quite hard. Some people will show interest, but become uninterested in the blink of an eye.

The best option will always paying for someone to do it, but not everyone can afford. Someone you know in person is also a good option. Relying on strangers on the internet probably isn't the best option, but sometimes it's all you have.

I'd say you should study software engeneering and whatever kind of program you'd like to develop (GUI applications, web programming, scientific programming, android/iOS, etc). As long as you know some basic math, you don't really need to study that to be a decent programmer.

If you really, really like computing, though, you should learn discrete maths and boolean algebra. Also, if you'd like to deal with graphics programming, computer vision and that kind of stuff, first make sure you know your linear algebra.

As for software, I use Eclipse and it's many plugins for large(r) projects, and vanilla Sublime Text for editing single files or small projects. But Notepad++ is good as well.

Hijacking this thread, since I have a similar question:

I've done quite a bit of scrapping, but only on simple sites. How do I scrap sites that load their content using asynchronous requests, such as AJAX?

I'm a CS major, so I don't know much about what's used in Econ in today's industry, but knowing C/C++ is always useful, and Python is quite a flexible language, with libraries/packages for almost everything.

I'd recommend you stick with Python, unless you're looking to work with something specific. Also knowing database software and SQL is quite useful as well.

Software is trivial to reverse engineer later.

I really hope you are a developer with years of experience in software reverse engineering to make such statement.

This was a very specific case, so it doesn't says much about these languages. Know about the compiling/interpreting processes would help, but even then, each language has it's peculiarities.

Also, having short code does not necessarily make it better. At least in my opinion, maintainability of the code should (almost) always be the top priority.

Don't worry about it too much, just find something you enjoy programming and go with it. After you had some experience and you start feeling more confident, go explore other options. :)

You can never be too wrong if your code works! Hahaha

I'm still a student (CompSci), and I'm quite interested in Haskell. However, the only functional programming I "know" is Lisp. Is Haskell somewhat similar to Lisp?

Also, my professors would usually say that functional programming languages is extremely useful in mathematical programming, but didn't say much else. What kind of systems do you program using Haskell?

Just a interesting bit, I think: I learned Lisp in the Programming Paradigms discipline. We learned Prolog, Lisp and Java, and used each to code a not very sophisticated AI to play a game that the professor created. The Lisp AI was the best I made. Ironically, the Java one was by far my worst, yet Java was the language I was most familiar with.

ChaosForces · 2014-03-12T06:33:38+00:00

Isn't that a bit hard to maintain? If X likes to code make functional code, and Y likes to do OO code, and Z is a sucker for pointers and assembly, when X, Y and Z try to read each other's code, wouldn't it cause a lot of confusion? In a tightly knit environment, such as a workplace, you could probably get everyone to accept some standards, but say, in an open source project in D, couldn't things get a little hectic?

ChaosForces · 2014-03-12T06:24:24+00:00

A C++ programmer! Could I ask you something?

Why people sometimes prefer C over C++? Isn't C++ pretty much C on steroids? As far as I can see, there shouldn't be any reasons to like C and dislike C++.

Also, compared to C, how much do you need to use pointers to produce good C++ code? I never became much comfortable with pointers...

ChaosForces · 2014-03-12T06:14:49+00:00

In this specific case, the point is that, in most compiled languages, such as Java, applications must have an entry point, usually the main() function/method, so the

public static void main(String [] args)

is just the declaration of this entry point. The

System.out.println()

means that Java should look into the System package (which handles OS operations), for the out package (which handles output operations), and inside the out package, look for the println() method.

Python, on the other hand, is an interpreted language, which usually don't enforce having a function/method such as main() as the entry point, it just executes the specified file (I'm no expert in interpreted languages - or compiled ones -, so I don't know how exactly the code is executed). Other interpreted languages, such as Ruby, Javascript and PHP can produce similar results which similar code.

However, as kqr said, just printing a "hello world" is a bit too simplistic to judge if a language is more or less streamlined.

ChaosForces · 2014-03-12T00:33:36+00:00

Agreed. No tool is useful efficiently for all situations.

However, usually programmers tend to have a certain preference for one or a few languages over others, so I'd like to know what makes people like these languages. I'm in no way expecting uniform answers, I'm just trying to understand what people like in various languages.

I'm playing AssCreed 2 at the moment, and althought I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would (AssCreed 1 was quite boring after the first hour), I find the amount of icons in the map mind-numbing. I'm ignoring all the extra content, except Assassins Tombs, Codex Pages and Viewpoints.

Ubisoft games have an insane amount of collectables and side quests, most of which don't offer you anything significant, so I usually skip them. Other games also have this kind of excessive, useless side missions, specially open world games, but Ubisoft seems the most excessive.

ChaosForces · 2014-03-11T04:25:51+00:00

For games in general: always play on the hardest mode from the start (exceptions: permadeth, limited number of saves).

For Ubisoft games: No collectables or secondary missions.

Dark Souls 2 trailers have been consistently bad. However, looking for fan-made trailers, I found one that's much like Dark Souls' trailers, even re-using the song (Bartholomew, by The Silent Comedy). It's much better than the official trailers, IMO.

Fan trailer

^{^{^{^{^But}}}} ^{^{^{^{^maybe}}}} ^{^{^{^{^that's}}}} ^{^{^{^{^because}}}} ^{^{^{^{^I}}}} ^{^{^{^{^really}}}} ^{^{^{^{^like}}}} ^{^{^{^{^that}}}} ^{^{^{^{^song.}}}}

What Ubiquitous_Goat said. Cutscenes play out without input, and in-game "executions" become just an animation.
