Love your idea and we will be adding heads-up games to our site near the end of 2011 so we hope to have you work on one for us

Ok, good news! Today I signed up for school with at least 8 hours of C# every week 
Also, can an admin move this to a forum that is not the newie one?

I have so many ideas...
Likewise, I feel like listing many things... here's one more:
A 'dig-dug' clone where instead of searching for diamonds/rubies, etc you pay a certain amount to play and then search for bitcoins which you can then actually withdraw.
Haha, very good!
Was a great idea too!

Nice idea! Good luck!

Congratulations for the initiative! Very interesting!
Have you thought about creating a game like simcity? Where you out instead of building houses, you could create structures for mining and ore could turn bitcoin.
Or a game like tibia, where the currency could be bitcoins.
I have so many ideas...
Good luck!

I've seen an ad on TV where you can 'bump' iphones together to share pictures... is there any way you could do that for spending bitcoins?
I'm guessing it's some kind of bluetooth thing?
Anyway, it would be great if you could spend bitcoins from one phone to another via bluetooth, instead of QR display and scan.

Oh, darn. I just wrote like the longest post ever, and apparently I was logged out in the process, and when I clicked submit it just said "login to post," I hit back, and my post was gone. Now I'm logged in and too annoyed to write all that again, but I will later. The main points:
- Can you make Android or webOS games?
- I work in the field of early childhood education (not a computer background at all) but I'm interested in making apps/games on a hobbyist/enthusiast level for Android or maybe webOS. Can you suggest a starting point (what programming language(s) to learn, any useful links/etc) if you know anything about that stuff? I obviously don't need to know anything incredibly in depth, just simple coding stuff so that I can use the android SDK and free APIs.
- Have YOU ever thought about making apps/games for iOS/Android/webOS/wp7/blackberry/etc? I think you'd make more money doing that than selling games to individuals for a bitcoin?
Thanks! I'll remember this once I actually *have* a bitcoin, haha.
I'll get you started, the android platform is really REALLY well documented - Can you make Android or webOS games?

But for iOS you have to have a mac. (for so far as I know of)
Here's your address : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
The language you use for Android is Java, and the best IDE for java (and android) is eclipse, you can download it here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
(i think i have eclipse classic, not sure)
Install the plugin as said here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then you can follow the following tutorials: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html
And then you're off to go

Good Luck! It would also be cool if you figured out how to use Bitcoin inside a game. I would definitely support that.
Since I love bitcoin, I'll think about it :pAny idea how I could use bitcoin in a game?
I don't have any specific ideas. But, if I could earn BTC in a game of skill, or competing against other players for a reward, seems fun.
Agreed. Mostly there are just games of chance out there.

I don't do skype or msn.
I just meant a small sample not the whole thing.
I mainly do C# but from what I've seen and head javascript is a whole lot more forgiving.
P.S. I really only expected to be PMed with request to help code a section of your game or search for bugs(assuming you did want my help)
P.P.S I hate to sound picky, lazy, or obnoxious.
I want to be as helpful as possible(I'm in it for the fun not any possible payments for my services) I'm just restrained because I don't want to offer something and end up not really helping and becoming a bother.
Can't wait to see how this turns out whether I'm part of it or just a spectator.

What level games are you programming? Are they 3D or 2D? Who does your graphics? Can we see a free example of your code?
Sorry to bombard you with questions but I'm always information hungry.
I can't wait to see how this project of yours turns out. Maybe I can join you if you don't mind. I'm less than 25 myself.
P.S. I'd love to code some AI for you or anything else you have but I'm not sure If I'm experienced enough compared to you to really help.
P.P.S. If you want to do this on your own I understand, I just thought I'd offer my humble services.
haha, no worries Sorry to bombard you with questions but I'm always information hungry.

Atm I want to start with 2D, since javascript was also 2D. I do the graphics myself, since I'm a graphical designer for websites for quite a few years now
Ofcourse I can show you an example of my code, but the only code I can show you at the moment is the javascript game with my bud, and I ask half a bitcoin for access to it
I'll dig arround and maybe find some C# projects with Microsoft XNA developer
Also, it'll be nice to be in touch with someone with the same area of interest, PM your skype or msn

Sounds great! Do you know Actionscript or have any experience with HTML5?
Actionscript 2 or 3?And yes, I have experience with HTML5
