sounds pretty ambitious.
which gta era you cloning? ie the original 2d games or the later 3d ones?

[oxtail75]

the 3D era i no the graphics will not be top notch i am hoping for the same short of graphic as liberty city stores on the PS2

For a game as cool as GTA you don't need a storyline. You need to be able to steal cars and kill innocent bystanders. Oh and the city needs to be really really large. And there must be gangs after you.

I think Liberty city was the best one. Not the graphics and the features. I really liked the addition of motor bikes and helicopters later on. But the mood of Liberty was so dark and scary. There where neighborhoods you wouldn't get in for fear for your life.

With what do you need help?

i dont no ware i really need help at this moment sum help with development would me grate

not to be mean, but help with spelling and grammer would be a good start! first of all it increases the clarity of your question, therefore improving the likelyhood that you will receive the help that you are looking for. Secondly, good language skills lead to good programming skills. they are both languages after all.

I second that.

But to defend the OP (not that he needs defending, as he isn't attacked... a friendly pointer is highly acceptable IMHO)
But it's clear that oxtail75 is not a native speaker. He writes phonetically, which is impossible to do in English. 'Know' 'no' 'now' | 'where' 'ware' | 'short' 'sort' it's all very confusing, and most wont come up in a spell checker. The system behind it is so difficult and loaded with exceptions, you'd be better off not knowing anything about it and memorizing every word.

That said... there is no excuse for the lack of interpunction and proper capitalization.

Both of you! Write a script that outputs one hundred lines of: "I will use proper interpunction and capitalization" to the printer.

How far are you oxtail? I'm curious.

[LinuxZealot]

Touche Freston, touche! I actually didn't consider that Oxtail75 might not be a native speaker. And thank you for correcting my grammatical errors.

English is my Second Language this fact dose not inpare my programing Skills so i apologize for any spelling mistakes
