RE: Will we still get e-mail from the gameprogrammer mailing list ?

[Matt Harmon <harmon@uitlive.com>]

im not bothered, just trying to understand why people are on this list because i have been subscribed for a couple weeks and all it has gotten is a couple trivial questions and that is it -- very dead list with not much happening.

 

unsubscribing would only do a dis-service to newbies who i can help immensely.

 

and what is your AI point about?  Network games are so hot and are getting more gameplay than single-player games.  but to discuss enemy AI, neuro-net type technologies are not practical for video games because of delays.  Yes, having the computer learn from its opponent does make for excellent video games.  And Yes, AI is a great and big field -- do you really think a beginning game developer is going to ask questions about AI other than enemies waling around walls?

Matt,

 

Is that why the military spends many millions of dollars a year on AI research?  Or maybe a few folks on the other developer lists I am on might have a view that doing simple game programming is somewhat easier than doing complex game programming, but that even simple game programming is harder than a lot of other programming.  The idea of this list is that it is more tolerant of beginners than the other game developer lists.  If you are beyond the beginning game programmer level, and can't be bothered by questions from beginners, then I hope you succeed in getting unsubscribed.

If you want to program games you need to 3-d math and physics.  the rest is cake.

Why do you guys like this list so much anyways -- its for amateur game developers.  no real coders here.
