Umm, what? A vid??? I'm not sure what you're asking for, do you mean like, how i'm programming this?? cause i give you info, but if i make a video of the programming process, it would give people access to my code, and with the amount of effort i put into this, I want people to play the game, not tear it apart with their decompilers, all up in my bits and deleting my bytes(I.E. I dont want people to copy the code, then alter it and call it their own.)
As far as help towards programming a game, if you even have a compiler, use C++ then just google what ever it is you're trying to do. First lesson, Any advanced project can be broken down into several, or more, simple commands. a video game isn't just a game, it's a story, mixed in with characters(sprites in 2d actors in 3d). Add in some monsters, or opponents, write an equation(yes, math) for controlling the AI. after that, its maps. IF you already are programming something, take it one step at a time. Please, keep in mind that i'm not rom hacking. I'm simulating(NOT EMULATING) the game, then adding in 3 more playable sprites. Getting it to work over an internet connection, or even lan, may be out of my league, but we'll see when i get that far. To all programmers out there, if you need to do something in a big project, write a simple code that does the same thing, then implement it in your first program. for example, getting a game to play lan or over the internet, would require me to send info and sync at least 2 computers. I intend to write a simple text messaging program to learn how to do that.
Sorry for the rant, now on to the reason i'm on tonight, instead of working on the game. (SERIOUS NOTE TO THE QUOTEE) i started the new program in C# not C++. for those of you who don't know the difference, C++ is(in simple terms) more powerful. I have to restart again, so expect results maybe a few days or so later. Catch you all later!

EDIT* One more thing to Only Link,probably not a good idea to put your e-mail adress in a public forum. Though i doubt anyone here would be evil enough to spam you, Non-members can still read these threads. If i were you i'd edit that out, and if you need to speak to me, or give any friends info like that, use private messages or if you're doing something that would require you to post an e-mail adress on a forum, create a new account dedicated solely for that purpose. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but just try and watch yourself. Not everyone can be trusted as much as we'd hope. Oh, yeah one final thing too, any videos i make, will be published on youtube and a link will be posted here. I don't send any info to private accounts, mostly for the reason listed above. sorry if this didn't help you at all.
