Being a beginner myself, I just started with familiarising myself with the software functions first.
using basic square objects,, setting small tasks like make the object move left and right, etc, then jump, then just added smaller tasks like collisions and trying out new functions to get more confident.
once I was more confident I then took the time to think of a small game with with a very simple plot.
jump up 2 platforms, collect key, move to door, jump enemy object, open door.level end.
then depending on your abilities you can build on that, try your new ideas out.
try And plan a game with what your limitations are to begin with, if you go too big it can be the most frustrating thing when it doesn't go the way you want to or you feel it's taking to long.
take your time, be patient, start small and the big games will come eventually.
Ive been learning for 4 years now and I haven't released anything worthy.....yet :).
@capbros I did think it would be kinda odd to be tinkering and not know about the forum posts without commenting on them, think his last post was March, so I was just a little concerned that he was actually OK.
im all up for having the search fixed, but pressing the BIG red button might not do it, and just because we havn't heard from Bart doesn't mean that he hasn't been working on the site, and pressing this button could erase all of the work he may have been doing, id be very cautious about this.
I think the ones that are close to Bart himself should go and visit him and make sure he is allright.
@capbros all taken in good spirit my friend, i see what your saying, and your right it's not great for anyone searching for artwork, and that's what this site is all about in essence, to be that resource.
sigh.
its a great platform, I guess we will just have to be a little more patient.im sure it will get sorted.
not sure here, maybe a confliction of license was found and it was removed, or the owner has changed the name? if you remember the artist try looking through his submitted art, or collection.
sorry cant be more help, if you have a copy of the license when you started using the art you may be ok, but not 100% sure, someone else may need to jump on this thred.
From what i read here there is clearly some of us having issues with OGA and are unsure of its state of play.But this is going to be a difference experiance for everybody. I create art and upload it here and have absolutly no problems whats so ever,so to me I dont see anything wrong, however if i was a developer looking for art i may be finding some issues, this obvously has an effect on those that are uploading art.
I think the site generally runs as it should really, the forums are ok, uplaods are ok, links are ok, but again it depends on whos doing what to see how much effect the small issues are.
those that build websites from scratch knows only to well the problems that can arise and that they can be a pain in the arse to put right and take time,and its good to have some help to fix little things.That help is crucial and i think i speak for everybody here that the administrators do an incredible job doing what they do and we thank them massively and appreciate their responses on here.
But there is only so much you guys can do, and as Redshrike quite rightly says, "its Barts site" and they do not want to over step there boundarys. I think we can all apreciate as well that he has children, so do many of us, but it doesn't take a minute to post a about how he is or whats on going.
I think some are seaking some reasurance, so Bart if you are reading these posts, just pop in and say hello.

i dunno maybe the gaps can be filled in or perhaps suggested neck sizes, i dunno, just a silly idea i had.

Let's pixel!
