FAT guys are top coders sitting at the computer the whole day and not wastingtime for sports and such. If they even look bad it's even better so they won'tget out and waste their time with women etc etc. ;-DThe Friedens are said to be some of the most capable code-producing machinesin the Amigaish market.

It was said that those games were Hyperion's, I merely pointed out that they are not. Whoever made the statement I corrected is free to rephrase it to explain what he meant.

> Hyperion ported those games to AmigaOS.

Yes, I know that, thus those are not Hyperion's games. You know, this could be taken as hair splitting, but it's not: It's surely much more, way more difficult to write a game from scratch than porting it to another OS, for one, and then there's the simply unfactual statement that those are Hyperion games.

Well, that worked out even less well than I expected it to.

Are you sure you're not a hair stylist? :)

Well, yea, creating a game from scratch isn't something to underestimate, the graphics, the music, the gameplay... i wouldn't be suprised if coding the game is the easiest part, well it would be for me, as i can't draw a straight line with a paintpackage & i'm tonedeaf ;)

Cheers

You're assuming that I meant that porting a game is the same as programming it from scratch, but it's not, it's much easier. It's called "port" for a reason, it would have been called "rewrite" otherwise.

For a comparison of game content creation vs game engine creation:

There are over a dozen "evolved" Quake engines out there based on the GPL'd source.

There is only 1 non-commercial game for these engines, OpenQuartz.

It shows the obvious lack of humour of those whining about using a picture of those 2 hyperion dudes. imo They are not very well suited for being shown on pictures, to say it nicely :-) . So it`s nice they replaced it with a prettier picture indeed.
