true, but thousands and thousands don't compare to millions and millions

Actually kevin your more likely to make money from mac, and Linux users than you are windows. Maybe not as much in the case of that this is an engine than a game. But in most cases alot of indie company's make most of there money from mac and Linux. And make some from windows users.

This isn't the place for that discussion. This is the place for the people out there to tell us what they want to pay us to see.

[xezero]

and why not!!

i love a good technical argument (you should know me from work) =P

[Raven67854]

Mmmm arguments are fun .

[xezero]

yup, but there are things you just simply can't argue with but only accept ^^

like....

dx10/11 being AMAZING!!!

soooo here's what the UI is going to look like...

it uses the oh so familiar ribbon that we all hate and love (except you can collapse and expand it now for more screenspace) and the visual studio style layout (File view, class view, properties, etc).. OBVIOUSLY this is just the template..so expect game-related views/buttons/everything soon!

here's what it looks like with the ribbon collapsed

and here's what it looks like when you click on one of the tabs

now, if you double-click the tab, the ribbon will dock itself as seen in Office 2007 (i changed the style on this one BTW):

what do you guys think?

[Noctrine]

cool, wonder if its time that we move over to the project showcase area.

[xezero]

but but..i like my lil dev discussion corner

also...random rant:

MFC is convoluted...yet amazing... just gotta love Win32 API >.<

end rant

[hallsofvallhalla]

i personally HATE the ribbon but it seems to go nice here
