Dear Moderader,

I confess. I was just too lazy to find the "Software Sucks" forum. (hint: it doesn't write itself does it?)
 
Makes me wonder sometimes if any of you actualy READ the first post, instead of playing your little Glove duel.
 
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, I'm definitely with the wisest guys I've ever met. Shadow, you are number#1 I admire you for your humor. You my friend Vertigo, my deal with you is off. I won't be here for a while, waiting an answer, but I want to be here with you all.
 
umm......
ooooooook
anyway could SOMEBODY who is devoted to Time Traveling research give me there insight?
 
Vertigo

]]'will somebody devoted to time travel please give their insight'

No. Why would I want to infringe on your perfectly wonderfull immangination?

And besides when your game finally does escape into the public domain all it will do is taunt its users with rediculus meaningless puzzles.

Then you will try to SELL us the answers. Your ilk are a menace to society.
 
This is just my aimless comment. I've never try to sell anything. It's very funny, it's killing me!

My ideas are a disaster because I don't get help. I'm not superior, but rather an ignorant. I'll be a giant if unified. The answer is so simple that appears to be wrong, and ridiculous, all because I'm wrong. By the way, when I mentioned my job, this was only an example with no intentions. I only try to exchange my ideas, that's all.
 
few things:
1: i CANT sell my game because the people who made the program said so.
2: i WANT some insight because after all, im probly the only idiot here(well,that is in idiot on ACCIDENT anyway)
i know very little about the technical side of time travel besides i need a Dolorean(probly mispelled)

I came here to get some opinions and DAM IT im LEAVING with some!!!!!!!!!!

VERTIGO:
I think you have a good foundation for a game. You need to define the object of the game. Then tie all your ideals together, so the objective can be realized through the course of the game.

You've got spunk! You know about the Delorian, now all you have to do is get it up to 88 miles/hour.

Do you want to make a fun game or a realistic game?

Look at it this way, if you consider time to be the next dimension up from 3D space then it will have a discription that is 10^78 raised to the 78th power. In other words time can be anything and everything you can immagine because it is mind itself. (or is that 10^88th power? Oh well.)

Maybe you could think of time as 'reality squared'. People have spent entire lifetimes trying to learn and experiance the greater reality of 'time extended' or to attain greater spirituality or to know God. How do YOU expect to become enlightened by a few postings on the web?

Hint; better questions will yield better answers. You can say "yeah but I just want the short answer". Well if you DO find the short answer maybe you can let US in on it.
 
All great words, and just a few hours ago(before i read the replys, mind you)
Ive decided on using the Worldline time traveling method in my game.(with some modifications so it will fit snugly in the plot)
Here is the thing about time travel that stumps me the most:
If time was like your computer(ive put this on these forums before) then traveling to the future would be impossible, and the only way to travel to the past would be Goback.
Now lets assume for just a min. that im right.Wouldnt that mean we would have to have a point in time to go back to in order to go back?In other words, would you have to save that exact moment in time to travel back to it?

You have waded right into the middle of the issue of natural vs artificial time travel. The resemblance between a PC and a time machine is near scary. However a PC is an artificial time machine, where you would have to set the conditions and run the memory hard drives your self (as programer).

In a natural time machine, it is assumed, as a matter of course, that a complete copy of each and every instant of history is recorded in some sort of 'mass-field'. To travel in time is to "read" a portion of this record.

If it is possible to read the future it is because the 'ink' is already in route to the page. Or in geekorama terms "already scrolled to the printer".
