[Tural]

That's cool I guess..

[WaywornMmmmm]

I prefer my music tech class, but good job taking initiative.

[Patrickssj6]

Maybe I should convince my Informatics teacher first of not using a crappy "Right-Click-Hey-I-Created-A-Wombat-In-Java-Environment".

[Philly]

Running a odding class. Coolio.

[Cobain]

sounds pretty cool

[shadowkhas]

Interesting idea. Hope it takes off well for you.

[preston566]

Congrats. Wish our principle wasn't so in him self

[grimdoomer]

So if I understand this right as a class you pick a game to reverse engineer or hack? What if you cant achieve all of that, im guessing your using PC games? Sounds pretty cool though. Too bad the only interesting class my school offers is a VB class wich they dont teach you anything the right way

We have java. People have created... oh just about everything you can create in a 2D environment, and even some 3D emulations.

[Kirk]

My Computer Science is doing quickBasic and Java. It's really basic stuff, but I guess it's necessary if you want to do anything real and not feel completely lost right off the bat (as I really have no experience other than making text adventures on my TI-83 calc)

I just hate making Tic-Tac-Toe

[DrXThirst]

Next year, I'm taking C#.
But modding in school seems pretty cool. Good luck!

[HPDarkness]

I have commercial art every other week, for the whole week. So blah!

Me and my friends were the leaders of the video game club at the North Site of my school a couple years back (hah, I know..). We organized lan parties (usually Counterstrike) for after school (once even an overnight party ;p). It was pretty fun while it lasted.. the district got on us about it, though. On our disclosures we agreed the computers were for academic purposes only... And not everyone had a laptop or something to bring, so we just stopped.


So will you be leading the class?

[snakejknight]

leading it and so far i'm the only student haha

but i talked to the counselor and i get elective credits for it

[JK-47]

That's pretty cool :)

[Cuda]

To be honest, not as cool as my 10th Grade Engineering class. 3DS Max, Full size models and a laser etcher. Epic.

[Cryticfarm]

I hate you all lol.

[Senor_Grunt]

Your going to have to think ahead of time about what game(s) your going to mod, then find out how much they are. Or have your students buy their own.

I wish I had a modding class. :[

[DrXThirst]

So what exactly would I have to do to get a Halo class at my High School? ;p
