Hey there

[Leech]

Welcome friend of the gecko.

Thanks!

You should teach me how to code a plugin :3

If you're serious, I'll be happy to help you in any way you like. It's not very hard to learn, provided you have a 5th grade education, it only took me about a month to start feeling comfortable with Java. It would be easier to watch thenewboston's Java tutorials, however if you don't want to watch all 80 hours of those high-detailed videos, you can get started a bit faster here. Neither of these paths require any programming experience at all, although it would help a lot.

It gets very simple and intuitive once you really figure out what you're doing and can stop watching tutorials, so just give it a little time, and give yourself a goal plugin to create, something to work towards while you learn how it all works. If you have any questions or anything you need help with, ask away.

Dangit. I'm only in 4th grade... But I have watched thenewboston(not the whole thing sadly) Maybe I'll head back there for some review and finish it off.

But thanks for the offer. I'll probaby take you up on it sooner or later.

Then you're a pretty smart 4th grader

But yeah, just ask if you want me to help you with anything. If you know pretty much anything about Java, you can just start with the actual Bukkit stuff. The hardest part is actually coming up with things to make...

Oh we have plenty of things on the table to make.

The only thing we have a shortage of when it comes to coming up with plugin ideas is a shortage of shortages. Now, if only development was that successful

I'm a semester into a Java Computer Science course and have console tax calculating skills from a 90's textbook.
Do I qualify?

Haha, it sounds like you might be even more qualified than I am. I literally only started doing this stuff about 10-12 months ago, and even took a 8 month hiatus from coding and Minecraft since then. It's very easy to pick up even if you've got no experience in anything related to it whatsoever, the Bukkit API is very straightforward and easy to use.

Oh we have plenty of things on the table to make.

Just let me at one or two of em if you'd like, I'd like to contribute to Kiwike as much as I can, and I'll have a lot of free time in about a week.

Lol I don't blame yottabyte's development for "not being successful" or whatever you're inferring when you say that, this stuff can be a complete pain in the ass sometimes, and some people (well I least I can) almost get the coder's equivalent of a writer's block, where it's just really hard to keep going because of boredom, an unsquashable bug, or just a lack of motivation. These things can take a lot of time; the one I'm finishing right now for the RP server I've spent about 10 hours on, and it's a pretty simple plugin.

No, no - we can't even get to judge whether it's successful or not because he doesn't try.
