At the moment we have a little icon next to our name when we post, showing the highest award we have been given: "Member", "Professional", or "Protector" perhaps.
I've just glance at two QA questioners I'm dealing with and one has 137 questions / 136 comments / 3 answers, and the other 100 questions / 128 comments and nothing else. (And those three answers? They are two additions to his own question, and one "thanks"  )
Perhaps we need a special award for these people: "Help Vampire" perhaps? Or "Holding down a job despite knowing nothing" maybe? (Or am I just being a Grumpy Old Griff because one of my brake pipes burst when I hit the brakes this morning?)
What do you think?

I was feeling a little "old" at that point, yes...

Are you sure you didn't hit the "break" pedal by mistake?

I think a Dumbass of the day award would be fitting.

But this site is intended to be help for programmers, right?

The keyword here being "programmers". It's sometimes hard to distinguish the genuine programmers from the parasites.

I've actually thought about this before. This, and the fact that we quantify engine power with horsepower, despite the fact that your car runs with oil/gasoline and not glue.

Good point!
Perhaps we should reclassify engines into Raptorpower?

That seems like the prudent decision.

Nowhere near as good - which is why I gave you credit, and a quick upvote!

I read a few article about game programming.that articles says game programming needs good math skills. I graduated math and I want to show some game programming codes. What's level need for programming?
|

Most game programming has nothing to do with writing code, the work is in graphic design. The game engine is often the same, adding different graphics plus a few minor tweaks to the game engine to make a whole new game.

it's looking easy to me

For almost 20 years now the magic does not happen in the graphics engines anymore. Rendering is done by the chipset on your graphics card and writing the shaders that are used by the GPU may have to do a little with math.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Too little information on the kind of game you want to program.
Will you be using an engine? Will you be writing an enigne?
How complex do you want the game to be? Are you starting to write something for fun/to learn?
Do you understand what a game is from a programmer's point of view?
There are more questions I could ask you.

I would to make MMORPG game like WOW.
If it's need I can use engine. And If my code knowladge is enough to writing engine I want to do that.
I want to write for learning and If I can get an job about game programming it'l not be for fun.
I don't understand what a game is from a programmer's point of view.
On the other hand.
Actually in Turkey I can't write pc video game. Because there is not any job about that.
programmers from turkey usually writing web game or mobile game.
