QJ.net Game Discussion - PSP, Xbox, Wii, PS3, PSP Homebrew, and PSP Guides

**Cheez Pirate** · 08-16-2006, 07:47 AM

I'm 14 years old, and I know alot about Lua programming. But the problem is... I feel noob. Because everyone thinks Lua is a crappy noob language...and if people are going to think that then why should I make a game? I have 2 planned. One should be out by the end of the month. The other one will be HUGE, and i'll be working on it with a freind, and might take us untill 2007. Since half the time we have other things to do...but back to the question... Should I make them?

By the way i'm not a noob to the forums either. My other account has a little over 100 posts. If there is a way to change your username I would be very greatful.

**delight1** · 08-16-2006, 07:49 AM

You can't use it..need to develop a game or pay.

**Cheez Pirate** · 08-16-2006, 08:02 AM

Ahh... ok. Well I guess that is another reason to make a game.

**Bronx** · 08-16-2006, 08:06 AM

Make one! Or, right a lua tutorial

lol

Im deving a game but i dont get shop

**Cheez Pirate** · 08-16-2006, 08:10 AM

But you haven't released it... Have you? From what he is saying I think if you release a game you get access. But i'm not sure.

Oh. Is it Omicron? I've never seen it on the front page so that is probably why..

**genaga** · 08-16-2006, 08:18 AM

i think u need premium and you can get premeium by do those things TMK said

It wont be on there until i release the demo...

**Urza** · 08-16-2006, 08:28 AM

I think Lua is fine.

Just don't let it get you down when SG57 sees this thread and posts his opinion .-.

**Fanjita** · 08-16-2006, 10:09 AM

There's nothing wrong with LUA. It can be a much better tool for some purposes than C or whatever.

There are some people who are bigoted about LUA, and claim it's only for noobs. But they're probably the same people who would use a hammer to undo a screw, "because screwdrivers are for noobs!".

C, Perl, Java, LUA, Python, bash, Windows Explorer... they all have their place in the toolkit of a well-balanced developer.

Ignore what other people think - write your game however you like, and let them judge you by the results, not the process.

**JoeDaStudd** · 08-16-2006, 10:35 AM

If you like using Lua, then use Lua.
Dont let others change your mind, your the one whoses going to make/create it, not them.

Who cares what everone else thinks! Most of the people here are idiots and don't know what they're talking about (me included).

**Garak** · 08-16-2006, 11:25 AM

A game planning to be coded by a 14 Y/O in LUA... Sounds like a recipe for success too me!

**Campbell** · 08-16-2006, 11:29 AM

Not at ALL what I thought this topic was gona be about but anyways....

Here is a keen piece of advice.

You can know everything about something, but when it comes to using it, have no knowledge at all.

**Zettablade** · 08-16-2006, 11:34 AM

I dun care how good you think lua is, but in the end, it was made to support c++, not to make full on games. Ifr you wanna make a game, you should go ahead and learn c++.

Why does it matter what he programs it in? If it's a game, and it's fun, who gives a rat's ass?

**Cheez Pirate** · 08-16-2006, 12:03 PM

You guys are awesome, thanks! ; ) At the moment i'm downloading psptoolchain from CYGWIN. But yea. I learned Lua because my freind is going to be helping me, and he knows some C++, but I AM planning to learn C++ once I make my first worthy game. Which at the moment i'm working on a Lua based Pac - Man just for fun.

By the way Fanjita. That it well said... O.O I'm sure your someone everyone here wants to be lol.

EDIT: What's up with the homepage? pspupdates

**Glynnder** · 08-16-2006, 01:09 PM

Well Said Dan...

Knowing a lot about something and being able to use it effectively are two very different things.

LuaMainframe2 (interfaceLua) taught me that...

**The PANIC.** · 08-16-2006, 01:21 PM

I played LUA Who wants to be a Millionare and that Zelda game that game out. Both were amazing. That's all I had time to play. BUT so far LUA is pretty shnazzy.
