I am going to have to call bullshit on this one.

I wonder how much "<?php echo "hello world"; ?>" counts as knowing the language, cause if that's the case I know all.

Special thanks to our resident flamer...

Just proves how much you really know about me, and how much of a speculator you can be.

I've known you for some time, and I can say for a fact, you don't know any of those languages well enough to design anything decent in.

The only language you may know up there is Spanish.

And if you knew those, you wouldn't have asked me to modify a Shadowbot now would you?

Ahh, so you're the one who I use to be friends with.  How interesting.

Anyways, you seem to forget the human ability to absorb any given amount of information in a reasonable amount of time.  Considering it has been about 8 months since I have started programming, I think it's agreeable that I could have learned these languages, whether I only know a small portion of one, and a large portion of another.  The reality is, I am very fond of C/C++, and grow closer each day to mastering it, if you want to use that term.  I'm decent in PHP/HTML, and I know C#/Java fairly well, mostly because of my C/C++ knowledge prior to learning.  My ASM however, is not very good, but that's a window open for learning.  If you don't believe me then find a way to prove that I infact don't know these languages.  You won't be very successful.

About the ShadowBot:  That was quite sometime ago, and is hardly relevant at this point as far as arguing that I don't know these languages.

In 8 months you've learned 8 coding languages.... OK!
The people that know you sure aren't going to believe you because of your reputation of a severe liar with and extreme case of OCD, and I'd be suprised if anyone that didn't know you that had a spec of intelligence would believe you either.

So you must know very little about every language except Spanish?

That I can believe.

I don't think Mephisto knows all those languages well enough to create anything semi-decent. But, even though Mephisto and I share a common dislike for one another, I do beleive he has a good understanding of C/C++. I know that he did very well on the fatal error test for those languages, and on the exile test as well. However, he wasn't accepted into either of them due to the fact that he's him. Perhaps this thread should be looked at with out a biased viewpoint, perhaps not.

Burned.

Uh huh...

As far as joining Fatal Error, you obviously have no clue.  As for me disliking you, I don't remember.  I only remember you all the sudden having a dislike as you took a viewpoint from what you heard about me.

As for you LoRd, it's funny how you still use the term "OCD" based on what Spht said.  Unfortuanately, I doubt that's really what he meant as far as a "real life" condition is concerned, and only used the term when we were in a fued about my "bot condition" if you want to use it that way, and constantly going under new aliases to achieve something.

I havn't finished anything decent yet, that's because I am still learning.  But I'll just say that I have certainly begun some of my major projects, which you will probably be seeing sometime this summer if you stick around on Battle.net that long.

Additionally, I don't think someone who has no, or very little knowledge in those languages could possibly be hired by a local incorporated software/business company at age 14 if he/she didn't know anything.  Also, I doubt I would be allowed to co-instruct a college class in C/C++ if I didn't know anything.

Maybe you guys should stop taking viewpoints from others which have been overly exaggerated on several accounts, and actually get to know me first, and then take a viewpoint.  Only one person on this forum has, and even now has exaggerated his reason for disliking me, took viewpoints from others, and quite frankly, is has no respect for anyone.

Fuck dude I been trying to program for like a year and a half now, I doubt you know like 7 different languages in 8 months. Im still stuggling with functions....Maybe its just me, or do people learn all this easely?

I learned these languages relatively fast because I put a lot of effort into learning them, and still continue to learn to date.

If you're still struggling with functions after a year and a half I don't think programming is for you.  Find something worth your time.
