June 2010 - Unas

[Broocevelt]

Lol, don't worry I'm not planning to be the next MotM after all ^^
Just choose the regular member you find the best of the month

[theAlpha]

Just wondering. Are there any eligibility requirements/restrictions?

[Nevfx]

I think Meph just picks... doesn't he?>

[Meph]

I pick yes. But it's carefully chosen. I choose people that I think deserve it; not necessarily oldbies, but just people that everyone else respects.

[Nevfx]

Fair enough

[ShadowEdgeworth]

Ooh, very good idea. I quite like it. Reminds me of Mr. Burn's Employee of the Week. Just without the Plutonium Rod.

So this topic is about Unas. I have a question for you then.

How long have you been programming for and when did you start? And why did you start programming in the first place?

I don't plan on making any of the staff the next MotM, because I don't want to look bias. Sorry Daniel and Geno.

Unas: In fact, I have done one, in French, and have another one in the works... Well, I haven't worked on it for months, but anyway. Considering the one I have done, I'm not very proud of it, mostly because the ending is too fast. I think I lack the patience to work on trials properly until the end. That's the main problem, because otherwise my imagination works fine and I write rather well, if I may say so, but I can't really stay focused for too long on something.

Meph: I think many people have the same problem.

Unas: Yep, but thankfully there are also many people who don't, seeing the bunch of good trials we have on AAO now.

I thought that was great. I know exactly how you feel Unas. When I first released Bitter there was barely any kind of ending, I had to go back and make it all.

I never knew you had a trial actually. I should play it despite your comments.

Instead of looking at almost all the forums. Why not make another topic? People can vote or something. Then people who want to be the MotM will have to state their...

Or something

[Meph]

We won't be doing anything like that.

But from now on, if you have any questions about the Member of the Month system, PM me.

I learnt HTML, CSS and PHP (my first programming language) around June 2005, if I remember well. That makes 5 years
As for why I started, there wasn't really a reason, except for my curiosity regarding everything about computers. One day, a friend told me he had found a great tutorial to know how to make a website; the next day I had started learning this and in a week I had learnt most important features of these languages. Considering it was my very first programming experience, it was rather fast ^^
For those who wonder what that tuto was - and who speak French - it's on the Site Du Zéro, probably the best French site for programming tutorials.

Well, contrary to you, I never had the courage to go and rebuild a good ending ^^
But if you understand French and want to play it, please do. It's here. The one thing I was proud of in it was the second "CE", where there are several different ways to reach the conclusion, depending on what you press
Also, keep in mind it was done with a very old version of the game and editor, so all animations aren't perfect.

[Broocevelt]

Wow, you learn that fast?
I want to start learning programming and scripting, but i don't know where to start...
Any tips or advices?

[Nevfx]

Wish I spoke French, I'd have loved to play your trial.

Its cool learning stuff about one of the admins.

[Meph]

To this day, I've always found PHP to be difficult.

I'd so like to be MotM. If only I COULD contribute. I'm not too good at things like programming and Graphical Design.
