Hello, I am not asking about a code question (I am actually quite skilled). I Wanted to know, how do I get some other coder to work with me? Is there another discussion? Please help! I need to work on a team with someone (If you are interested, please tell me)!
Depends on what ‘skilled’ means. It always helps to tell a little story about yourself.
A nice start would be an explanation about why you NEED an team so much
Well I’m going to university and meet people.
You CAN find people online - but working together may be a pain… but for that you can ask anywhere, like reddit for example.
You simple do want to have a team.
If you want to actually accomplish shit you need more than just yourself.
Especially artists if you cannot do any art.
well i think if you are going to follow this way (randomly finding teammates) then i guess the best solution is to start doing some prototypes to show your future soul mate:heart: what you are able to do, otherwise it’s not going to work, everyone here loves to code which mean that with a way or another we all know someone that share this interests with us, and i personally rather to work with a friend in my/his house better than someone i don’t know online, even that i’ve already did that, i programmed this flash website (old and new version, mini games and the unfinished game ) for a friend that i met online 3 years ago, it was very fun but also a pain in the ass when it comes to fix bugs and trying to understand/explain what he/you want.
That was my general opinion about online partnership, notice that i never developed anything with someone in real life, i still don’t have the skills (neither my friends) to join our ultimate force and start our Power Rangers adventure 8)
so in my honest opinion, and i really means no offense to you, posting something like this with a Bold “need” and an exclamation mark in the end without saying anything about your super-power is like going to a girly forum and said " How do I get a girl to hang out with me " with a Bold “need” and an exclamation mark in the end, well… trust me, everyone there will think that you are that kind of a guy that can never ever have a girlfriend which will not helps you a lot… if not at all :
so i think it’s better to start telling us what are your skills and if you complete some game projects, do you mind sharing them with us : ?
innocent question :
you are not searching for a team to make a super duper big awesome amazing incredible MMORPG of the century aren’t you ?

Are You : ?
EDIT
i saw your other post and apperently you are not looking for a 22GigaByte MMORPG, my bad :
but also, i don’t think you know what you mean by saying “skilled”, plus if i want to make a team, i will not need a skilled people, i will need someone that can turns the idea into codes, and what you’ve wrote there is not that complicated to need a team for it, i honestly think that the fancy phrase you used are a lot more complicated :persecutioncomplex:
[quote]So for just a mini-game game, I would say we would work about a month on it. I want this game to be either 8, 16, or 32 bit, just to give the 2d game some feeling, and make our rendering job easier.
[/quote]
anyway …
my advice to you would depends on what you really want to dp :
-if this is just for fun and to learn and advance faster in game development then :
- it would be a lot better if you try to convince your best friend or anyone from your neighborhood/school to join your journey
-if this is to make your dream game and make it incredibly awesome just because you have a team with you then :
-depending on your other post, you actually need to hire a team to work for you, you have an idea and you need people to help you finish it, give me one reason why me or anyone else would “waste” his time for something you want ? it’s not evil, it’s logic.
so i honestly think that you should drop this idea for now and start making this game alone, and ask for help here and am sure you’ll be satisfied, plus you’re 13 , you have so many time to reach the real skilled level
good luck
No one’s going to want to join you unless you can prove how “skilled” you are…
Hi wesley, what country you from btw?
Anyway, You should go to a java forum, that is not for games only, and ask there.
You will find ppl there that dont know this forum and are looking for someone to code with.
Probably
I pretty much agree with what HeroGravesDev(?) said in that post /.
One thing I dont get is why lots of people are so obssessed in working in group, me and some friends once tried making a Starbound clone and it failed mainly because each one of us, had different coding styles, I’m the typical code-conventions-na.zi, I couldn’t stand coding with my friends because they didn’t follow code conventions. Hence their skills and experience, I can’t stand reading a code with methods starting in uppercase or not carefully identing the code.
Then, we split and tried making the game each one on our own, in the end the game got much more near-complete than it was in the group-coding period.
This story sure should not apply for a lot of people, but since then I pretty much won’t code with any kind of person, maybe I need to stop being a code-conventions-na.zi, maybe not. But my point is, watch out what kind of people you find by randomly looking for them in the internet.
Btw, America is not a country :point:
I’m pretty sure that the C# coding conventions call for all methods to start with an uppercase letter.
I can’t imagine you reading that language :persecutioncomplex:
He would kill us.

I’m pretty sure that the C# coding conventions call for all methods to start with an uppercase letter.
You should as a team pick a coding convention that’s easiest to understand, and works well for the language you use.
That is definitely an option, though you may want to use a custom code style that you like more. For example, I think that putting a beginning brace on its own line is completely stupid, because you can figure out the matching end brace with tabbing anyway. I also think that using spaces instead of tabs is stupid also. Those two things I would work with my team to put into our code style.
Well, yeah probably… but seriously it shouldn’t matter. If you really can’t read someones code, tell them what you would like them to change. If you are using a modern day IDE, you usually have the option to let it auto format your code. Just use that like crazy. Don’t uppercase your method names, but uppercase your class names. Other than that, use smart variable names. I can’t really think of anything else. I think the biggest thing that gets to me is when people do this:
public void exampleMethodName()
{
}
Instead of this:
public void exampleMethodName(){
}
My high school CS teacher taught everyone the first way, and it made me crazy whenever I had to help people with their code. The second way is really how you’re supposed to do it. Fortunately, I had already been coding for a year by the time I took his class…
I’m ranting now, but seriously, don’t worry about the damn conventions. Just code and have a good time as a group of people who like to do the same thing.
I like the first one better. It seems cleaner.
But then again, I got into programming through modding Minecraft, and that’s how the code appears when decompiled.
Funny, that’s how I started to.
I don’t like it because when you are reading through huge classes quickly, it can get hard to tell where one scope ends and another begins. Everyone has their own coding style, but I prefer the second.
Funny thing is, I got taught to do this by my software engineer lecturer
if()
{
}
I was like told to redo many things because I had
if(){
}
But, I was only doing the first year for a program I got into in year 10, I then started to use the second way because I found it a lot more neater, but the first way I say could be better for beginners, as you can clearly see where a if statement starts and finishes, that may be why they insisted on us using that way in everything.
IMO, the first is neater.
It’s nice to have a gap between the method name and the actual method.
Although I can understand how the other one could appear neater to some people.
How about you ask people. No one can do it but you. If you want a team, you have to ask people to be apart of it. Plain and simple.
Get good, and get money or a solid concept/demo.
