I actually did create a few games in Multimedia Fusion, but they were not nearly as good as many of the games available here. I also learned several programming languages. Despite everything I've played with, I have not mastered anything. I do, however, have the common sense to grasp the qualities of each development tool I've used, and to tell which of them is the most adequate. I'm not against using MMF, nor do I want to discourage anyone. I have simply realized the surpassing benefits of programming languages over the click and point approach. But I will tell you this, as the first tool to make it possible for me to create apps and games, Multimedia Fusion had both captivated me and greatly cultivated my brewing passion for becoming a programmer.
I don't have them anymore. They were on an old computer. I think I might get back to it though. But I'll have to get the latest version of MMF. The last one I had was 1.5.
who gives a crap how you were 6 years ago, I'm sure you've grown up a lot since then.
Nobody's born a pro, don't be afraid to show your creations. Some newcomers show their stuff and 99% of the time they get constructive criticism.
This thread is a waste of time.
You don't need to be given permission to come back to the community. Stop worrying about being accepted and just make games.
Klik is like an ultra high-level language, so high that transcends language itself. It is communication to your computer without language! Just pictures. But well, like with all high-level languages, you do a lot more per line, but have a lot less control. Basically, you get more done as a programmer, but it's more inefficient hardware-wise.
Also, the Lua extension overcomes most of the huge problems that come with MMF. Reading 1000 lines of code is easier than reading 200 events. Lua solves that. Also lets you make functions, use variables, etc.
BTW, I think most of the game making communities are rude. TDC's mellowed down a bit since the elitists left, but I still avoid TIGSource and the Game Maker communities. It was worse, not so bad now.

What were your games about and how did they play, BTW?
