Actually it's a question of POV. Some descriptions really got me interested.

I'm quite new here and I'm far from a "professional" chip musician or whatever ... but is that really what our community is about anyways? I know not everyone consider this purely a hobby, but will this help the scene in any way to be known as some dudes who will start dicking around about copyright issues? For instance, I don't work with credit cards (I'm pretty scared of them), but I really wanted to have fearofdark's Motorway (which is awesome). If it wasn't for XC3N, who bought it for me as a gift, I wouldn't be able to listen to it, since my poor internet connection doesn't allow streaming. I'm surely not making myself clear, but what is better: to have someone introduced to chipmusic by listening some of our songs for free and maybe understanding our need for support and start paying for it some time in the future or that autochiptune crap? Should we go Metallica all the way?

For those who suffered from copyright infrigiment, maybe discuss with the guy, whatever, but don't start being the copyright trolls most of us hate.

Hope I didn't offend anyone on this.

whats your idea? phrases on lgpt and some lsdj instruments in between?

Guy, as a struggling game programmer, I can assure you this: that's not an easy road to travel. One piece of advice is to focus on some easy learning "real language" instead of going directly to C++. For my first game (which is a turn-based board-based card game that is still in development, even having a 5 programmers team), I'm using C# (which is what I use at work) with a framework called WPF, which wont do for a sidescroller. XNA would be a good choice I guess, and the sample project is a sidescroller already! Also ... tons of books (XNA related, game programming related, C# related in this case) would help you along this bumpy road that is game development.

And there's also something called game design ... maybe this can be more your area (since it doesn't require programming skills), which is a area for people who create game logics, feelings and so on (Game Design through lenses is a good book on that, and also Hamlet on the Holodeck can give you a lot of good insights). The problem with this way is that you'll have to find the artists and the programmers and convince them that your project is worth doing, so there's a lot of communication skills involved.

At last, no game is easy to make, even if you're already a programming wizard. Only effort, study and practice can make it easier.

Here's a good link for a blog from one of the Tony Hawk's frachise developers: http://cowboyprogramming.com/

People got really excited with NNNNNNNNNN's set up.

This could bring another contest: take the winner loop and put it in a song.

Congrats Pulselooper! Yor track was awesome!
