I am not a fan of first person shooter games (I can hear you all out there going naaawww...you're kidding... really?) :) I do have a question about Tribes that someone here may be able to answer.
My son is an avid Tribes player. I think I have mentioned here before that I homeschool. I need to have a chat with someone about his academics tomorrow as I am thinking, if he is willing to get serious about his math, that he would be best off just writing SATs and/or a GED and enrolling in a computer science curriculum, which seems to be where he wants to go. The thing is the school system here apparently requires some sort of permit to graduate early (which I think is really dumb) and I am liable to need some professionals backing me to get it. Thus the conversation tomorrow. On to the tribes question. He has taken to modifying the configuration files, and I would like an idea how impressed I should be by this. Is this common practice, or something he would find a cookbook for on one of the gamer sites? In other words, is he just good at following instructions or is he actually reading code? What is Tribes written in anyway? Anyone know? I had assumed he was working through some sort of UI but what he was looking at earlier looked java-ish. I don't want to embarass myself by citing this tomorrow if it's something pretty easy to do and I just don't know it cause I don't play the thing. If that's the case I will just stick to the hardware skills when I brag about his computer knowledge <g> Thanks for any answers, Dana -- Mr Jones and me We're stumbling through the barrio.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
