Then, later on the time came when you can actually play games online with the emergence of the internet. That was the time when 2D games were popular but now, the scenario has been changed with the <a href="http://www.mastersoftwaresolutions.com/Unity-3D-Games" rel="nofollow">Unity 3D game</a>.

In a closed repository then, or at least one that isn't linked from the post yet.<br />Keep in mind that a large group of the interested people will never look at your code. I for one would just test to see if it does what you say it does (check to see if my server stay online) and couldn't care less about the neatness of the code :-)<br />Any post (in English) that involves a Raspberry Pi is bound to get some attention. Yesterday for one, you were mentioned by Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/03/21/19-year-old-uses-raspberry-pi-to-power-his-server-monitor-raspberry_pi-piday-raspberrypi/Pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043535617430880226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147550888613914291.post-27942400922734285912014-03-20T16:30:08.277-07:002014-03-20T16:30:08.277-07:00Hi Pierre,
My current plans don't really go b...Hi Pierre,<br /><br />My current plans don't really go beyond finishing the application and using it, although since I plan for it to be extensible, there really is no "finish". I did have a rough plan somewhere from when I started the application with a list of things that I wanted it to be able to do, so if I can find that, I'll upload it to the BitBucket page. I guess the main thing to do is to add more services to it. The number one priority should probably be to make sure that it is as clean and easy to use as humanly possible for both the end user and other developers, starting by commenting the rest of the code. However, changes won't be appearing to the application until I have managed to set up my sites so I have a way of communicating with the programming world myself rather than hijacking Darren's blog.<br /><br />I have absolutely no intention of releasing the application with a price. It is an extremely small application, and I'm essentially a nobody in the programming world, so it most likely wouldn't go down well. The source code is already licensed under GNU GPLv3, so I'm more than happy for it to stay open sourced and available to anyone. I will also make sure that my Continuous Integration server is building any changes to the source code so there will always be a download place for the application. As for the idea of "people expecting everything", I have experienced that firsthand, albeit in a smaller community made up of younger audiences. I find it best to ignore the people that are demanding something, help the people that require support (if I can) and perhaps accept the odd feature request every now and again. I don't plan on "advertising" the application in places such as forums, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem there.<br /><br />I'm genuinely amazed that even after only a short amount of time on a blog that doesn't appear very active in the way of viewers (no offense Darren), people are already finding out about my work and expressing an interest in it. It puts things into perspective, and gives me a little more motivation towards adding to and improving the application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147550888613914291.post-69036903533174084902014-03-20T13:48:20.222-07:002014-03-20T13:48:20.222-07:00Pierre, I will get Brandon to reply Monday when he...Pierre, I will get Brandon to reply Monday when he returns back into college.

Thank you for sharing your story with...Hi Brandon,<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story with us. I agree with Don MacSween that having something concrete and working to show for your skills is the best way to get peoples attention. Be it for project work, freelance stuff that you want to do, or a regular job.<br /><br />So what are your plans with the tool that you build? Are you going to provide it as a paid application? or as freeware or open source?<br />Making it a paid for version would/could put some money in your pocket, but also raises the bar as to what people expect from the application. They are paying for it after all. Then again, even from a free application, some people expect everything.<br /><br />I do think however that there will be a genuine interest for a tool like you describe, running on a Raspberry Pi. I don't know if I would pay for it personally (don't think so I am afraid), but I would probably install it on one of my Pi's. <br />Pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043535617430880226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147550888613914291.post-83041598424399821532014-03-18T08:01:20.382-07:002014-03-18T08:01:20.382-07:00Kev,
