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

                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.

                  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:

                        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.

                              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.

                              Because he had 5 or 6 pretty much identical ones just with different subject lines. All went to moderation, but they weren't spam or abuse - apart from the SHOUTING - so I let them through. And he's not a fast learner... :sigh:

                                  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:

                                    GTAV had a production budget of what, $140M or so? Yeah, he should be able to pull that off.

                                      I told people I'd be a successful comedian. They're not laughing now.

                                        That wouldn't be the first project like that. I've seen several video games that tried more than they could realistically achieve.

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

                                          One day all will laugh together, even in Mordor.

                                          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.

                                          One does not simply laugh into Mordor.
