Programming isn't free or easy

Well... I consider myself mature, and am going to try help with coding at some point, but I'm 14

I'm 31, and have been programming since I was 17.

Well, no need to worry about that. I've been coding since I was 10. It's all about practice... and having the coding mindset, of course.

Heehee. Best piece of code that I have seen in a while.

*is 43 turning 44 and Im as mature as a 14year old.* I started learning basic when I was 14 so technically Ive been programming a long time. :p But honestly I only really did compiled code for about a decade and only for fun. The stuff I do now is all script.

[zerker2000]

Well, I started playing around with java when I was about eleven, and my stepdad taught me a bunch of stuff in it...

today a friend sponsored me for a premier event on MTGO, a 64-128 player swiss with ala/arb sealed. I was so confused during the build I started with an esper build but then realized I had Hellkite Overlord + 2 terminates and other removal spells so I chucked Sen Triplets and the esper Ultimatum and went Jund no splash. Well after 7 straight hours of playing I went 5-2 and squeaked into the last seat of the top 8. I drafted a bant deck with no real bombs and scrubbed out against one of the guys who went 6-1 in the main event. Ok I guess I was lucky to be invited to the party. First top 8 in a little under a decade, not including the free drafts in Magic Online Beta. I know that this is unrelated to anything in particular but I felt I had to share it. I have to say limited with Ala/Arb is quite intense. I'd love to see MTG Forge support such a small limited environment. 2 sets, multicolors, lots of different strategies. Could be quite fun. But first I suppose the AI needs to be tweaked to draft better.

Yeah, he's already got the concept of "vaporware" down-pat. I hear Microsoft has an opening for him already.....

Seriously, I'm not implying that there's an age minimum (or limit in Gando's case). I just think there's a different mindset between "programmer" and "developer".

Whatever enhancement anyone brings to the table is welcome, whether it's card code, GUI code, code documentation, user documentation or card implementation research.

Erm, ASCII art needs a fixed with font, the only way I found to do this is the <code> flag (I just figured out what "code" was about )... but I'll go with the idea

EDIT: "Syntax Error: Out of space" (a.k.a."Your signature is over the 200 character limit"): had to cut it down a bunch
What I was planning to put in is as follows:

Code: Select all

package bicycle;
import java.io.*;

public class Manual {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("

      return;
   }

}

Yeah, I tried to quote your ASCII art to give context to my message and it came out with a proportionate font.

Nonetheless, I like your signature. It had a nice way of accenting the original message. A little humor can go a long way.

Ty ... I didn't mean the pun on purpose though, I just thought I should put in user info when I said I'm 14... and made a signature while I was at it
