Simple Windows Game - Part 1: A Game Framework
I've decided to do a series of insights based on creating a simple windows game using C# and WinForms. There are other methods of approaching this task but I've chosen to try to keep things fairly simple and demonstrate how one might make a game. More experienced developers will note some similarities between my approach here and how Microsoft XNA does things. This is intentional for two reasons...

Looking for information on writing a Point & Click Adventure Engine
Hello everybody!
As the title suggests, I am looking for information on how to write a game engine for a 2D or 2.5D point & click adventure. (You know, for games like the Monkey Island or Manic Mansion series for example.) I have a basic idea of what I would have to do and am currently researching what language would be the best choice for my requirements, but so far I have found little in the way of describing what other people... -
Should I use Sockets or not, and why?
I've build TicTacToe game, and got it to work multiplayer. I have used one java server for connecting to the database and with the clients ( sockets ).
It works fine but now I am wondering if I could only make the clients connect to the database and receive/update data from there (whose turn it is and what move someone made), without any Java server and sockets.
Please help me on this one. Should I use sockets or not,... -

How do you simulate a dice roll in python?
I'm writing a text based adventure game and was wondering if there was a way to "Roll Dice". An example of what i am trying to use this for would be attacking or defending in the game. If they get above or equal to a certain number It would be considered a hit. I would also need this same automated dice rolling for the enemies in the game.
Thanks

Undergraduate Computer Science Project Suggestion?
I am a final year computer science undergraduate student and I need some suggestions for a project. The project should be:
1. A program, not a research paper or thesis.
2. Should be able to be completed in 1-3 months by a single programmer.
3. OS and programming language independent
4. Not related to database, hardware or image processing
5. Maybe game or website related, if small enough -

Using a timer in a game
Hi guys
I have a problem with programming a small game. The idea is that a question pops up, a timer starts to run randomly from one to a given number (that number I take from a database, every question has a different allowed time to "think"), when the timer ends, a random computer opponent between 1 and 2 answers the question randomly correct or incorrect. If the user presses a button, the timer stops, lets the user answer... -
How do I make a network game on JAVA?
There is a local card game here in our place that me and my classmates got addicted to (oh no, we don't put bets on it, we just play the game), but when we get to our respective homes, no one in our place knows how to play the game but us. So we were thinking if we could search the net for an online version, but no, there is none (because it's a local game, no one out there knew of it).
Now we thought like, "What if we make this... -

Help making a hangman program
Hey, I just started programming this September and I have an assignment in which I am supposed to create a hangman game. This is my first post on this forum so forgive me for any "noob" mistakes Now I'm still learning Java so this will be a basic program running in the console window (no GUI) using strings loops, arrays, etc but hopefully nothing too complicated. I've developed somewhat of an algorithm for the program, but it's really simple...
