Hi,
What do you want exactly ? Do you mean you want to contribute to our
game ? Do you want to start programming the new Linux killing-game ? If
so, I think you should better start contributing to an existing game,
as, you said, it's been a long time since you have not programmed.
Best regards,
Jean

So for many years I did not get into programming, mainly because
nothing seemed to click with me and I wanted to be more on the sys
admin side. Anyways I would always keep an eye out for a language that
may click with me, and since at the same time I was interested in web
dev I picked up php as my first lang along with SQL and made a nifty
web app in 3-4 months. Anyways anything other than php doesnt really
click except maybe python and anything similar to it.
So it comes down to that I cant find a language that has a I guess
game library ( I guess you call it that) to go along with it such as
SDL or opengl . I tried looking into LUA but the documentation for the
SDL bindings didnt seem that good. I want to make a game that can
easily be ported to other operating systems as well. I tried python in
the past and what I didnt like was that I had to learn an entire
language that is made for many reasons, game dev, web dev, basic gui
apps and then I can dive into making a game, versus with PHP you just
dive in! I dont really want to learn a language and have it cover all
these areas where I wont need it and then finally be able to start
making the game. So I guess I am stuck on what to do exactly. Someone
just said just go with C and you will have to learn all that stuff but
it will be handy. I was also told PHP and C have similar syntax and
thats prolly good for me since I have more than the basics of PHP down.
Any tips/advice is welcome! I am really determined!
