Yeah, Canada is great if you love the cold weather. People are very friendly too. I enjoy living here.

Skateboarding video games?

[Deepfreeze32]

I've only played the Skate games, but I really enjoyed them.

If I smelled like garlic, would you still call me superman?

[Deepfreeze32]

No. I'd call you a vampire hunter.

[Chozon1]

I read a book where a vampire hunter actually ate a boatlourd of garlic before combat, in order to make him bite proof. XD

Did the chumbly wumbly bear come a-tumblin down?

[Deepfreeze32]

Uhh...no?

[Chozon1]

Did he sell beans?

Nevermined.

Srsface question: Is there a (low footprint) C++ game engine you could recommend to me? Doesn't have to be flashy, or even something I could create a marketable game with. I've got a very, very, very loose grasp of some of the basics of the language, and I think it would help me stay inspired if I could learn as I actually accomplished something. I've got a "learn C++ through games" book I'm working through slowly, but I seem to learn better by jumping into the piranha pit face first.

Well, that depends on if you prefer 2D or 3D, but there's a couple options.

There's irrlicht, which is highly modular; OGRE3D, which is a graphics rendering engine, and a few more specific options. Among these are all id software games up to Doom 3, SDL (A low-level hardware interface library), and the Monocle Engine (Though there's scant documentation for that one).

Honestly? I'd recommend either building your own from some of the libraries I mentioned, or going with something simpler, like Unity.

[Orodrist]

Cattlecore?


Also Hank III in general?

[Deepfreeze32]

That was some trippy stuff, man. XD

[Orodrist]

?

[Deepfreeze32]

That's pretty cool. Can't say I like the price, but...

[Orodrist]

Can you imagine that for urban commuting though? Dang cheap.

Some classic Cynic?

[Deepfreeze32]

That vocorder effect reminds me of Crack the Skye. And that random Jazz breakdown made me very happy. Reminds me of BTBAM. I think I'll very much like this band. XD

'Preciate the engine listing. I'm uncertain whether I want to actually try and make game; I just figure I'll be more likely to work on something that interests me, I 'spose.

Being an idiot?
