Hey Jack,
Instead if bitching about it, why don't you start contributing what you
want? Oh wait, I see you've contributed an OpenGL "wrapper". Of course,
the only thing you've "wrapped" is 'c_func' and 'c_proc' (which doesn't
make much sense since you are only renaming the aforementioned functions
and tacking on some overhead to slow things down). It might be better
labeled as a translated header file instead of a wrapper but hey, at least
it's something.
You talked about coding an IDE that would beat that of VB... That would be
nice. You've had much more than a half hour to get it done so it must
really kick butt by now. Let's see it!!!
Not everybody is as 'great' as you Mr. Spike. People are contributing
their code because they take pride in their work. They don't need people
like you putting down their efforts. If a contribution doesn't trip your
trigger, then don't bother with it, and certainly don't criticize it. I,
for one, don't mind seeing contributions from beginners (or anybody less
skilled than I, for that matter). It's better than nothing (which is what
you'll see if you keep dissin'...). Everybody's got to start somewhere.
In fact, I'd rather see those 'worthless pieces of crap' than to hear
somebody bitch about a gaming library that they should be able to whip up
in a few hours (unless, of course, that person is just talkin' out of his
ass.)
Still looking forward to seeing your mad coding skillz,
-- Brian
