I'm actually making a chat program with MooGame, but could use some help. For smileys, we could use Text Blitter, and use some weird characters no one uses for smileys, so it automatically parses the string and replaces the smileys with the weird character no one has, which shows as a smiley.
I know that. But we're probably not going to use TB for smileys, since that would only allow one font and that. But we'll see.
When we've implented the skin code, we're probably gonna make a small skin editor app for it, so you can all make your own skins. But that's when we're done with all the net code and interface and all that
Yep exactly.
With TDC game, so much needed to be done - like graphics, coding, server stuff - and creating a game in a team can be very difficult because some people don't have time to do things that are needed. I think we started off with about 7 people working on the game, which then ended being around 2 or 3 people.
With a KlikIM you only need 2 or 3 people though - graphics are relatively simple to do (plus the fact we're having a skinning option allows users to make their own graphics). And the coding isn't too difficult neither (the most difficult part is the PHP and MooSock bit - which we pretty much have sussed now).
We're not expecting this IM to be popular or anything - we're basically just trying to achieve something and get it released, then see how it goes. We hope to get some kind of media player integrated and some other handy things which MSN doesn't have - so it could kind of be considered as a lot of things in one whole package. We'll see how things go and keep you updated here
who are you Bill Gates???? I dont want annoying little shitty pop-ups telling me my software is out of date and that i have to update or someone will come knocking on my door!!!!!
Hmm... if you guys decide to go on with this, I want something that displays an avatar and lets me group chat. Oh, and it has to be simple, nothing laggy.
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
I can't test it, so I can't gaurentee it'll work at all. You can run it in MMF2, but to see the events, DCmail me for the password. There are some who I don't want to have the password.
The two included skins are "retro" and "regular" if you put in a non-existant skin you have to put up with the disqusting default gradient skin that I threw in.
Replying to a dead topic has a few down falls. The downfall here is the fact that the idea this post suggested, has already been done. So saying how it would be cool if it was to happen, is pointless seeing as it already has.
