Ok, byond isn't that popular, but it has a great system.

Why do I say great you ask? Ooooh simply because you can make pretty much anything. It has a simplified code (muhahahaha) that allows you to create games on their game engine, and then transmit them so other people can play them.

They even have a good few built in functions like a 'pay 2 play' type of function, in which players can pay to play (obviously) but sadly , they(Byond's creators) get a bit of the profits of your labor.

Im currently learning how to create games, but its not that simple. Its a bit more complex then starcraft triggers because you have to define objects beforehand. They have a few tutorials to get you started, but its not nearly enough in my opinion.

Also, for those of you that like to type a lot, this is perfect for you :)

That looks pretty sweet. So the code looks similar to, but a simplified version of c++?

Pretty much, its object oriented. I still haven't got a good grasp on it :P.

Just for shits and giggles, im making a Texas Hold'em map as I go :)

Thigh high affectionado

Its a piece of crap, lags like hell, and is incredibly easy to be hacked.

Making your own program would be a much better option

PLus the fact the EVERY game has to where ur a character that moves one spot at a time via arrow keys (that arent as responsive as you would think) or turn based. Byond has too much naruto/bleach/dbz games anyways. I HAET CLOENS

Hehe, true. You learn to play it if you play it enough. I can speed through many guys because i tap on the arrow keys alot, and how many times I want, I know it will land me. It does have alot of retarded clone games, but I don't like most of those anyways. I tend to stick to most of the RPGs (Most of the naruto etc. are labeled 'Anime' even if they are considered RPG). But its a great system to use.

If you can understand the BYOND code (an old friend of mine sent me the link and I checked it out) you'll be able to learn yourself C++ and do a way better job in game programming then using their pre-built engine that sucks...

Learn C++, build your own engine, then make your own game ;)

Symmetry shouted: I did my first EUD thing today. Feels like me finding arsenal at age 8 again
haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
