If you are a programmer or know a programmer who is comfortable with the various types of the C programming language please contact me at my email address (risingzan7@msn.com) as we are assembling a development team to put together a video game that will eventually be released for a current system. Experience is not necessary, knowledge of programming is. This opportunity can greatly benefit anyone who wants to enter into the video game or entertainment industry as both require you to have (usually) a minimum of 2 years experience within the industry prior to applying for a job position within it. The team will be centered in the Northern NJ area but for the moment are accepting anyone with programming knowledge to apply. As this is an independent production we cannot pay our members during the development process but instead offer a split in the final earnings via individual percentages. We hope to release the game in July of next year (7/7/07). We will be working with an original IP and see good fortune coming of it, we are still in the early design phase and hope that prospective teammates come equipped with fresh new ideas as this is a team where every idea is valued but only the good ones are put into use.

hello i'm very interested in your offer,
the only setback is i know very little about programming,
except that i want to learn
because it has many applications and seems to be in demand kinda.
So do you know somewhere i could learn C for free?

the internet is a great tool, start looking for sites with info/ tutorials and faqs that will help you out
when searching you should be looking at If you are interested:

Visual Basic. This is a high level language and relatively easy to learn, and is good for turn-based games such as war games and board games. It's advantages are that it can handle both the scene graphics and the game processing.

Java. This is good at handling motion, and its object orientation means that character movement and other speed graphics are easy. It also is good at handling distributed processing over the Internet. It is not difficult to learn, and is becoming more popular for interactive games.

C++. This is the de-facto standard for games programming, and it handles objects and graphics at speed, as it is a processor based language. However the learning curve for being able to program well and with the sophistication necessary for good games programming is steep, so experience counts with C++
Your video game design often dictates the video game programming language, so many programmers work with all three languages, taking advantage of the best of each.
