Haven't coded anything in half a year. Pretty sad. A few months ago when I was still working on it I added a whole bunch of things to my 2D game engine like a simple physics engine which controlled collision along with gravity and stuff for my particle engine and I streamlined in so it ran on half the resources. But I essentially gave up because It wasn't fun. I believe in order for you to be successful with your project you truly have to enjoy what you do, otherwise you will crumble and fail. Forcing yourself to do something that you don't even need to do, where is the fun in that? Plus the amounts of compiler errors which took me exponentially increasing time each error to fix really just pwned me.
Also with that, I sort of cheating learning the SDL graphics and audio API, I went through the documentation for a few days, and took only the things I knew I would use, then made an OOP mini API that just called the SDL functions, so I technically learned my own API of sorts, but now that it's all gone, I guess I have to relearn the API forreal this time
Damn, I'm probably rusty as hell, probably forgot all good practice too If I want to get restarted I guess the best route is to go back to day 1 of sam's...maybe.
Use it or lose it
tl;dr: Read the post and don't be so lazy, it's only a few hundred words.
Update: Since I'm too poor to buy a book and I'd rather use my money to buy something like video games I'm using these tutorials to start over. They are guides for C, then there is an one for C++ which teaches the additions (Not like you guise are going to use them anyways, plus they are in Japanese ^^) I have a feeling that I won't need to use them too much, just for review essentially. http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~yf8k-kbys/c0.html
I've stopped using .NET. Moved to web development which is lot's of fun. Try that really, you need a change.
I'll try it sometime, lols btw how has the programming section been lately? full of new people?
Dead pretty much

@_@ You have turned to the dark side.
No, seriously, that's where all the money is in the professional world right?
@Virtual Void maybe you should get all hardcore and go with DirectX 11.
Yes, learn PHP and you'll start earning money almost instantly ;]
Wait wat, what's this about actually?

Nothing of real importance to be honest

Lololols directx is way too complicated for my liking, especially when it will take me a huge time to learn and then still suck at it. I'm better off with learning a simple 2d API which can accomplish all that I really need, plus it runs DX under it on the windows version of the API

Huh. Good point. I always feel accomplished and shit when I learn something difficult, but I suppose it would be a pain in the ass to learn DX11 for a hobbyist game.
Learn ColdFusion, then cry yourself to sleep every night on your pillow of money.

About 150 websites at the University where I work. It's pretty crap but you can't just up and port something of that size.
