1. RPG Engine & Editor
I was thinking about writing an rpg engine and creating an editor to go
along with it. I was also wondering about what features it should have and
i am basically looking for suggetions. I know I want to make it powerful
and easy to use. It would be programmed in Euphoria and would most likley
use the win32lib.

Most of an RPG can be easily coded in Euphoria, but remember that Eu is
not the choice tool for video animation. You would need to use a good
animation library written in another language to make it look smooth.
I'd suggest you start with a text-based RPG and once you worked out the
mechanics of the Role-Playing, you can then enhance it with great visuals.
Because of the amount of work involved with producing a commercial
quality game, you will probably need to do it as a team effort.

Hey, I think euphoria is just fine for making games. I'm making a game
with euphoria opengl/openal/win32lib and it works very fast, and is 3d
and has good sound, and has like a whole cd of
artwork/sound/animation/units and scriptable(in euphoria at runtime
changable) units, oh and networking. I don't think anything is
impossible in euphoria as long as you have a sufficiently fast media
library to use. Oh and maybe I'll put the game on my server in a
while, but it would take forever for anyone to download(cause my
server goes 20kbits on a goooooood day, I gotta get my oc3 server back
up soon).

Thats way better than what I was getting yesterday
(average of about .3 BITS per second(no, I didn't forget the 'k'))!
I think I was getting (D)DOSed again...

Top posting stinks.
Ever heard of bit-torrent? Not that it would matter in this case. I don't think
enough people would be downloading or seeding at the same time. :/

I don't use bit-torrent, I've heard too many clients
