You might want to assign stuff to students, or just specify something like "**beginner/intermediate/experienced" on the roles description so that we don't get lost too easily. ;) my 2c.

I'm in the same boat and I usually use Synctoy. Works well enough for my needs.

Where's all the input?! I think it's a good idea, and I'd be willing to help. As you said, great learning experience.. I'm fairly good (keep in mind--I'm still a student, second year) with with C# and SQL Server.

Funny, BufferedReader was the first thing my teacher thought us when we started Java this semester. I think it works better IMO.

There is ReplaceFirst() function. Try using that ;)

Hey guys, just want do stop by and say that I've been looking at project ideas for C++ too, and that I have saved all of yours! It's good stuff, hoping to get on that soon, when I get some time! College semester just started so I don't have much time. Network Programming class and COBOL (fuck...

Never heard of it either. I'll try it out, see how it is. I'm fairly content with Open Office though...we'll see.

Arch Linux for a little while now. I had the basics down pretty well, but I wanted to get to know a bit more of "in-depth" stuff, I guess. Arch seemed like a good place to go to learn once I had gotten the basics down with Ubuntu and such.

This is great. More games should go that way IMO...hell, Ultima Online back in the days had this type of system and it worked really well for it, same goes for the Gothic series. So far I'm really happy with what I'm reading on TESV: Skyrim.

Sorry for the late reply! I was in Quebec city visiting family...didn't really have access to the internets :P But yeah...I'll go with XNA I think....after all. Thanks! I know I'm a bit hard headed ;)

Thanks to both of you! So yeah, I'm looking at making a fairly basic 2D game, a sidescroller of some sort...kind of like this, to give you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkd6u8jIWVQ So yeah, that's why I don't really mind the fact that it doesn't support any higher than DX7. I'll...

Yeah, I've been thinking about that, but really I think it could help me with learning C++ as well...and I've only really worked with .NET yet, and I want to try something else for now. But yeah, chances are I'll probably end up playing around with it, that's pretty certain.

I've just finished my college semester, and as I have nearly a month of break, I thought I should do something half productive during this time. As I've been thinking about learning C++ for a little while now, why not do it while I have the time? I've also been wanting to give a go to basic...
