Hi Josh, Sorry, but I can not say if my new game will be out by Christmas. Not sure how the coding will go or how cutting and editing all of the sound files will go and then getting them all working together. And then as Zack said I have no way of knowing what might pop up in life that might

Hi Josh, You know to tell you the truth I have no plans for new versions of any of my existing games. To me they are all done. I like them all the way that they are. And I have gotten started on a new live action game. Live action like Mach 1 and Pong as compared to a turn based board

Hi Charles, Josh and Nail, I will think about the pitch thing in my baseball game. However I should tell you that I never even graduated high school and thus do not have a mathematics degree in physics or probability or anything like that. So I would have no idea how to program the math of

Hi Josh, Even if someone gives him a formula he still needs to understand how it works to employ it effectively. For example, if you give someone the algebra formula a = l^2+w^2 and don't let them know how it works then they can't double check that the code they are writing works properly.
