Hello there. I was surfing a web site, www.dperry.com (which I have been frequenting for years and also a part of the community), and I found a couple of things that might interest some people. I discovered a large list of programming languages that might interesting coders and aspiring coders. I have also found a large slideshow that Dave Perry made for GDC (Game Developers Conference) 2003. I hope this interests you:

Mark Moraes' Great Big List of Programming Languages and Stuff

Hello, dperry.com readers. I'm back with a gigantic list of programming languages. For some reason, the links have progressively evolved from programming languages to David Hasselhoff. Don't ask me why. I suggest letting it be.

If you have any comments, please feel free to e-mail me at mmoraes@rogers.com or leave a post at DPFiles.com (or even check out my shameless plug website at Members.rogers.com).

If you're interested in gaming, these links will definitely inspire you to force a round peg in a square hole. I'll start off with the programming, then AI, then finish off with David Hasselhoff (fortunately, in that order of importance). BTW, my next article will be entitled "Write Things Down" - turning ideas into achievable goals. I see a lot of refreshing thoughts floating around in the forum. Hopefully, the next article (unless I lose what I wrote down… the irony) will make gamers realize the importance of writing things down. Take care, and here are the links.

No, really? what is this list about?

In this community the programers you will find are mostly likely interested in programming mods and information on this isn't isn't really helpful at all... prolog... who uses that? and why is boards of canada included?

are you just trying to increase your post count?

Tarbash, don't be ignorant. Not everything on here has to do with mods. In fact, all of this is so that potential programmers can learn of what goes into a game, not just a mod. Besides, maybe you want to tweak AI so they behave differently, or add shaders or whatever to the mod to make it look more interesting.

This is just for those looking at a job in the game industry, and not just the modding community. I think it's a great find, and I've enjoyed looking throughout the list.

Hey, what do you code mods with? Programming Languages! Same with games and game engines. There is nothing wrong with this thread, its interesting, if you guys have a problem with it, don't post. Simple as that.

Anyway, I can't find any mention of D! :(

Don't really see what this has to do with Programming or Producing, but okay :P
