Title: a request

Not a game or anything, but I thought of a good way for people who know both GM and higher level language to post tutorials. You compare the syntax and how to execute certain things of the higher one to GM's.

Like

GM:
x = 5
But on Java its
int x = 0;

I think it would help the rest us very well.

Oooh. That's brilliant. :) I'll shift this into the Java tutorials.

Do both of those code lines change x's value to 5? Because java is more strange than I thought possible if they do

Haha, no. Sorry for the confusion.

In Java, you need to declare the variable before you can use it.
Hence:

Code: [Select]

int x;

Here is how it would compare, Gm to Java:
Gm

Code: [Select]

x = 5 

Java

Code: [Select]

int x;
x = 5;
//Or you could simplify it and go as:
int x = 5;

That makes a whole lot more sense.
