    :laugh: :doh: What a doofus.

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

    Thanks a lot. I started out in a similar way. One of your former presidents at least found other words: ...who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

      ...you've got to keep your feet on the ground. Just answered a question about writing a game in Javascript, HTML, and Python. Specifically, the OP wants to write GTA6 (in Javascript, HTML, and Python) and "earn money!!!!!!" He tried asking his teachers, and can't understand why they laughed... :laugh: You've got to admire the ambition, if not the "connect-to-the-real-world" part of some of 'em!

      Someday, the next Steve Wozniak is going to post a question just like that.

        Because his teachers all achieved greatness? :confused: Whenever you want to do things that most people don't do or can do people will laugh at you. I told people I'd write articles and they laughed. Then I wrote some prize winning articles. I told people I'd write a book and they laughed. Then I wrote some books, got my third contract coming up. I told people I'd write a LINQ library for JavaScript and publish it on npm and NuGet and they laughed. Then I wrote a LINQ library for JavaScript and published it on npm and NuGet. There's only one person still laughing now and that's me :D Without dreams, we are nothing.

                        I'v got a complete design document for a game I wish to someday create. But the sheer amount of work needed. Sigh... Even if you use an engine like Unity which is easy to learn and work in and removes a lot of the reinvention of the wheel th e sheer size and complexity is staggering. And not just programming, if you really want to make something great you need art assets. Huge amount of work there. But sure there are people who can do great things but you should try to steer most people to start smaller. A lot smaller. Start with GTA 2 before you move up in the world.

                                I think you oversaw that OG is not the one wanting to do GTA6... that kind of answer should go to the QA Item where it was originally asked. This thread is actually just for fun ;)

                                M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                    Vodka? There's your problem. It's shrooms you need for reality modifications. Allegedly.

                                      Thanks a lot. I started out in a similar way. One of your former presidents at least found other words: ...who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

                                      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 fucking golf cart.
                                      "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

                                      ...as the question's closed.

                                        ...you've got to keep your feet on the ground. Just answered a question about writing a game in Javascript, HTML, and Python. Specifically, the OP wants to write GTA6 (in Javascript, HTML, and Python) and "earn money!!!!!!" He tried asking his teachers, and can't understand why they laughed... :laugh: You've got to admire the ambition, if not the "connect-to-the-real-world" part of some of 'em!

                                          There's something wrong Jörgen, it doesn't work! I pushed the button and it SAID that everything was ok, but it isn't! So because you're a programmer, you had better fix it ASAP! :doh: Oh, and can you fix my computer while you're at it? :confused:
