    Cool, I learned C# by making this game. :) I wrote version 1.x-2.0 in VB6 and 2.1 was written in VB2005, then I dove head first into C# by porting version 2.1 into C# and stripping a lot of stuff from it because it needed redesigned. Version 2.4 is when it started to get good(because I learned a lot about C# and .NET) Slitherz was my tutor in C# and .NET. Then I went on to make bigger and better things. I will post 3 more articles eventually. One of them is an A* path finding DLL for .NET.

    Cool!! The app that I learned VB2005 off of was ScratchPad (which looks like it was made in the 80's). X| But I learned a lot from it! I'm working ScratchPad 2.0 right now and I'm almost done. It looks a lot better. Anyway, I'm hoping to write 3.0 in C#. Good luck in C#! :)

      Lets see an article for it. Oh and I recommend you save your old code. I made the mistake of loosing the first version of my program. Its nice to look back and recollect.

        http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Slitherz.asp[^] Why did you guys vote it down so low? :( I want to know what is wrong with it.

        i didn't vote it at all. but maybe it needs a little technical explanation, and less gameplay information. this is a programmer's site, after all. i don't have the knowledge of C# and C# on Windows, especially, to do that. but if i wanted to try, i'd like to know how you approached it, and what challenges you faced. in other words: teach us, don't show us. but that's just me. and i didn't vote at all.

            Look, there are 3 main types of articles: 1. Research/Reference, which are used to, like you said, learn new things and discover other strategies or coding problems. 2. Learning, which can be used to help learn a certain language or how to do something in a certain language. 3. Code/App, which are articles on how to create a game or a program or post an app. And by using these articles, you can take the code and tweak/rewrite it for those who don't want to develop their own, or who just want to use the app. For me, someone who's learning C# (but still stuck with VB), find it a useful learning game by seeing the techniques that he used. Plus, it's a cool remake of a classic 80's game.

            Look, the kid just asked why he was getting voted down. Jon gave what I thought was a good opinion about it. I responded too. No need to get all defensive about it. Feel free to ignore the advice.

                  Well, a quick scan through and there isn't much explanation. It is mostly a source code dump onto an HTML page. The source needs to be broken down and explained better than that. If I'm looking for a technique do do something then it might be there, but how would I know? I would have to spend a long time looking for it.

                      Ah, the joy of being the first with a Nokia 3310 at primary school, and everyone wanted to play Snake 2 on it... I still use a 3310 now (my third one), haven't moved much forward in 6 years. ;)

                          Because it's just a list of the source code. There's no explaination of what the code does, or why you did things the way you did, or anything. It's supposed to be an ARTICLE. Articles explain things.. You didn't do that.

                              Interesting that you're answering for him. Or is this another moniker in your list? Your experiences reported are awfully close, even to include the same referencing. Your dialog sounds like your talking to yourself. *Disclaimer - I know I could be full of it, but this is just how it appears.
