....it takes like 5 clicks to add a dependency installer....
Suil Ban;770078 said:No, he's not.
Suil Ban;770093 said:Even if it took one click, it'd still be a turn-off for both developers and end users. I know I wouldn't want to install 25MB in frameworks to play a Bejeweled clone.
Jeff;770098 said:its not 25mb its 2mb

this isn't 1995, its not a lot space or bandwidth at all, you're worse than kiwi and zipping his 4 meg snes roms.Suil Ban;770100 said:It's not a lot of space, but it's a lot of bulk when you're downloading a 3MB game. I can't think of anything I use regularly that isn't gaming-related or a program I've written myself that utilizes the .NET framework.

skull77;770115 said:Also, the reason you got denied because you did not have a bachelors is because they assumed you knew next to nothing about programming. Having a bachelor shows you have knowledge of some of the finer points of the programming language you studied, as well as things you may never come across from self-taught programming.

Jeff;770148 said:That game is incredibly hard to re-create tbh, the design, concept, gameplay are all easy, but the techniques they used are incredible.
Vorspire;770152 said:I totally agree, someone ripped it and ported it to PC and modified it a little so that it actually shows an arrow in the direction you are going to shoot lol.
Jeff;770163 said:That was made by the same company.
