Original Post
I basically want a few more programming contacts on my MSN list to discuss ideas or coding concepts with.. or to hassle each other about bugs. If your coding level is anywhere from basic OO and up, please add me. I'm not fussed about which language you're using, but I'm only decent in C++ and rusty in Java if you need to ask for help. - EDIT - DirectX users especially welcome, I still have very few DirectX contacts. :/ I'm working on a 2D platformer using Direct3D in C++, still in its early stages. The technical side of the graphics is done, with the focus on minimising calls to DrawPrimitive(). Sound and input have been tested but not implemented, and I am currently designing the collision detection system. defendjc@hotmail.com - I'm Dan btw. Anyone that can code their way though the typical concepts of OO is welcome to add their name to the general group. Just reply with your MSN address and make yourself known a little. =] A tiny summary of what you like to code in, or what you have worked on would be great, and then I'll copy your address to the list below. Remember, this means anyone can try to add you to their contacts list, but you can of course deny their request through MSN. For those worried about getting too many additions, you can always check the thread when someone asks to add you. If they posted their address here, you'll be able to find their description in the recent replies and then decide if you want to allow them or not. This has the added advantage of being tougher on those who don't provide a description of themselves. Otherwise, feel free to use this thread just to collect your own contacts. You don't need to add me if my background doesn't suit you, but I welcome anyone who does. :) If you want to keep your address private, you can add me without replying here, and I won't post your address in this thread or connect you to any MSN group discussions that might arise, unless you request it. Cheers!

One last note.. if the sporadic influx of new contacts is getting too much, just tell me and I can remove you from this opening post.
It will probably help to settle the level of the group too.
