Im not exactly sure what're you getting at here but this is what I'd do If I wanted to calculate level points through jquery... $(document).ready(function (){ points = $('#levelsum').val(); totalpoints = (levelsum*10)/5; $("#totalpoints").val(totalpoints); }); You need to do the calculatio...

Does anyone know any good free text editor with code highlighting for Mac? I'd rather not pay for Texmate even though it looks awesome. I don't think I need all the features as a beginner. TextMate is God of all text editors :p, I know you're looking for a free editor but honestly for beginners and...

RoR is an MVC based framework using Ruby, and a lot of the stuff is meant to be automated. For instance, you use your Terminal to automate your project creation.

But again thanks

So in reality I'd be better off focusing my efforts on C/C++ if I were to take up game design as a profession?

I'll second that.

Ouuuuuch :( that sounds like a bit of a hefty price to pay just for Java. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if its worth Boot Camping my Macbook Pro ...hmmm I'll have to have a ponder over that one. I'm also debating whether or not at having a deeper look into Unity3D just to have a mess around with...
