I would yes!

Because I'm already tired making the same old units repeating like dang. Even the terrain and graphics.

I wonder if you know how hard it is to make your own game....

I know, since starforge is the same with the triggers, I bet thats no problem. Any ways being a game tester can have fun and have money for reporting bugs and testing.

Hell yes. Sometimes I wish I started off with game programming, rather than sc editor.

I whouldn't compair starforge trigger editing with programming games , maybe it looks like it (with the '(' an ')' and such) but it is totaly diferent... We are just some shitheads who are trying to play with plastic wanna-be girls toys compair to game scripters. On example of the differences is the size of the scripts, we don't have to worry we won't know where what it and most of the time we also know what everything does that and not that or this. When you've even only a 5mb C++ file you'll turn completely insane...

ADDITION:
But ontopic. I whould like that, but I whould miss the fact that you whould get known, when you create an good b.net map you'll get know pretty soon but that's totaly different with programming.
I wander what languages you guys know, I myself know quite some/a bit about Delphi, Pascal, Basic, Java, Javascripts, HTML, C++, CSS and eehm... some other I thought, or maybe not .

ADDITION:
Ow and about the fun factor of game testing... the first day is cool, but then you gotta check every bloody corner with every possible view, weapon, whatever in every level, then you gotta do everything you can immagine in every place in every level and then you gotta, etc. etc. etc.
I can asure you, it wil get quite boring after a while.

ADDITION:
Don't worry, this is the last addition

What you say is true, even in game testing, theres more then 10 testers. Each tester does something else or some are the same, it would get boring but at least you get payed.

I started out with modding games, and stuff like map making, and now I'm starting to study C++ Programming and Visual Basic. I think that moddable, customizable games like SC provide a nice "first step" towards becoming a game designer.

-more complicated
-more of a challenge
-duh

I don't know even know i'm taking a programming class at school, I'm having problems of making some programs for the of knowing visual basic. I don't know about C++. I don't know of making games or trying sticking with SC.

I say things need variety. Sc could have some changes to its like the units and terrain. Thats why they are making Sc2 with more units and etc thats all i kno its sad. We wont know when it will come out be we will have to wait for it. It even might take a few years.

It's just sc2, anyways wc3 already has sc units already, so I bet blizzard won't make it unless it has a story even a new race called Hybrid.

Yep, SC edititing is indeed an nice first step to programming. You learn about conditions, actions, overlapping actions, variables (death counters) and things like keeping your code easy to understand (comment and such).

Visual Basic is lovely, I started with that when I was about 10-11 years old , only because my big brother did it too. But I stopped a year or two later.

I would, and have. I've made a few simple things, nothing worth showing here though.

Have also made a lot of mod type things for TFC.

Well... me, deathknight, and urmom have already started making our game which we have been working on for a few months, check it out PJP2: The Video Game

It will be available only on Game Cube

with 3 people? You will need game testers, need more people to do voices, and other people to do the helping. You can't have 3 voices (even if you go dark or light) and it might not work. Don't forget that 'your' game may have a possibility with a bad rating. And it might be your first game too.

Duh, Who wouldent rather make there own game... You would get rich... Fast... So I voted Yes...

We have gathered game testers, not many, but some... the voices shouldn't be that big of a problem, and we have all the music... about the "possibility of a bad rating"... well, our game won't be available in stores, thats for sure, but you will be able to order it over the internet, and we will have more information coming soon

Damn right, i will switch to game programming although i know a lot.

PS I have tons of e-books about game programming

Although you need to know how to use Visual Basic C++. It's kinda hard though but it's worth it.

Why only for gamecube? Why not for xbox?

Puni, you don't get rich fast in the gaming industry. Not fast at all. First you need to find the funding for such a game, or else its going to be a crappy one. Then you have to create a storyline and kno exactly whats going to happen in the game, then you have the long process of actually creating the game which can take years, earning you little money unless your working for microsoft or something. (which isn't going to happen once you just start) then you have to hope that the consumer likes your product. If they don't then your screwed out of money.

Programming is a long and tedius process for me, and I'm guessing most people) I made a chess game once. It was pretty lame, so I improved it so that we had super powers and powerups that appeared randomly, never got all the powerups finished though. I was bored out of my mind.
