Oh wow, great to have you back man!
When you left, I'm pretty sure I was still the extremely annoying and immature flareboy, haha.
I have a really quick question though: Do you have any of your old Gaia bot sources still? I was going to just download some of your old bots and try to decompile them to see how they work, but every single download link you've ever posted has died haha.
In other new, I've taken up C++, am learning Java now in a Comp Sci class, and have started development on a tiny Gaia bot (Not for a flash game or anything, but valuable to those who need it) and have been trying to learn how I could make a Flash game bot or a bot for the general website instead of something simple like what I'm doing.
Great to hear that you're engaged and everything though, congratulations!
Oh jesus, You were a little on the bubbly side, but, I tolerated
As for my sources I can look around and see if they're on my external; I know for a fact I've got a few things that were never released, but they're outdated.
As for learning C++, keep at it. It's going to be slow, and brutal, but you'll thank yourself later.
ur a faget

You still making music? Might have some paid work for you
Just a heads up Flare: C++ is going to really bottleneck you. In other words, you're going to learn at a far slower pace than you would working with a language like Python. Sorry if I'm being persistent with this, but I feel as though it's true.
Java is simple for the most part. But it's a 'foreign' language for creating bots and such (or at least in the locale of LG and other widely known botting communities). So naturally it'll be harder to pick up on as well. Just not for the same reasons as C/C++. Java could give you deployment issues and other related problems, but that's all theoretical.
After learning Java I'd seriously recommend going with Python. I know you want to learn something more powerful, but as a novice you won't need much power until you get a bit further up the ladder. Python is a simple and powerful programming language. The learning curve is also much less harsh. More appropriate for you.
Only trying to help.
Edit: Post more though. Mainly programming stuff. I want to see more education related posts on LG. Omlett said he'd post homework he needed help on in Tinychat. Not sure how that's going to turn out though.
LG is focused on what resources are available, and sadly this limits it to python and VB.Net (Some C#), though if he's learning java and has the ambition to learn outside school, there'd surely be a time when he'll do something for a bot.
I got away from the bot scene as fast as possible though and worked on some personal projects which surprisingly helped me learn alot
