What level are you?

Sickilla · 2001-08-05T21:20:02

during my time here at gamedev (2-months), i have noticed that there are certain levels of programmers that help each other out when one of them runs onto a problem. there are the Level 1 programmers who are beginners and have probably just 1 game under their belt. then there is Level 2 who are better than level 1 who can make complex 2d games like rpgs and side scrollers. there is also Level 3 who are 3D programmers who probably just started 3d programming maybe 2-5 months ago.and probably just mabe their spinning cube demo. then there is level 4, the commercial quality programmers who can make a basic 3d game. finally, due to popular demand, there is level 5, people who have been coding games for the past 5million years since the dayse of DOS, people, who could get hired by ID software or Epic games if they really wanted to, people in short, that we all wanna be like. what level do you think you are, how many games have you made,how long ago did you start? ps, pleese don't brag and also,pleese don't tell me how old you were when u started and how old you are now. X4J this post has no specific purpose, i just wanted to know for no reason in particular. BTW: most people at gamedev are hobbyists so i just wanted to know, how good of a hobbyist you are, you know, like what you can do.

there are the Level 1 programmers who are beginners and have probably just 1 game under their belt.

No games ''finished'', so I guess I''m a 0.
But my CotC rating is about 4 or 5.

Give me a 3 and a bit in the posters scale.
But I''m with the guys in the H category... I''m a Web Developer for money and a game developer for fun. I don''t think I could do it the other way round.

i guess i''m a level sqrt(1) (That''s .33 1/3). I''m currently writing my first game with the WinAPI and DirectX. It''s a simple pong clone and I''m having a lot of trouble with it

My COTC rating is sad... probably -100^3

Oh well
