So when or how do we start? Who will lead us?

lets just stick to good old msn


But then people have to get MSN accounts and install MSN messenger (which, AFAIK I can't do here on Ubuntu =( )

IRC is something anyone can just pick up and use. No need to register / sign up for an account.

IRC is the superior option here. In fact I'd go so far as to say IRC makes all other IM programs obsolete.

I'm interested in collaborating.
I'm currently playing with generation of custom-sized sudokus (non-solved with unique solution) and I'd be especially interested in making a puzzle game. I don't have any knowledge of OpenGL or Direct3D, but maybe I can help with the GUI if there will be one.
I can also code in C# or Java if it's needed. Send me a PM.

Or you could pick up a game lib like SFML and start making a game right away (after you have the basics of the language understood).

We really need to break the myth that graphics are complicated.

I don't agree the fact that you need a year, you DEFINATELY need a strong understanding of the language before you start with graphics.. I'm not sure if I'm for falling under any projects right now as far as coding, but I'd be willing to give a guide/advice, but I'm a little short on time during the weeks between DE classes and extracurricular stuff.. And IRC chat is best because of not needing logon names, get at my on my email, and I'll try to help atleast coordinate this. I need to get a list of whos interested and what timezones they are in to try and figure out a good time of the day for everyone, so just get at me jamort@netzero.com

Why? Why does everyone think this? This is a total falacy!

What makes a simple graphics lib any harder than iostream?

I've been coding C++ for well over 10 years now and the way cin parses strings still confuses me.

By understanding I mean know how to use loops, conditionals, switch, basically know how to use the language

Aug 26, 2010 at 4:24pm
I got xchat too... what's our channel?
Aug 26, 2010 at 4:48pm
Assuming the above link is the channel we're using

server: quakenet
channel: #cplusplus

I joined this morning and am idling... but I'm at work during the day so I won't be active until the afternoon.

If you are using linux, i'd recommend irssi/xchat/quassel, windows i'd recommend mIRC, also how about the channel i posted, died? theres already 2 users from here are online there but idleing.

Pretty much all multi-protocol messengers support MSN. That includes Empathy, Kopete and Pidgin.
(still, that doesn't make MSN any more suitable for project coordination)
