you have access to a computer which allows you direct access to a lot of
english. The big complaint I think is your lack of grammer. Please look at
(good) webpages and get a feel for english grammer. You don't even need great
grammer, you just need SOME grammer. I'd suggest reading news sites and
articles, paying attention to where they put commas, periods, and what letters
they capitolize. It's a strain to read ungrammered english, almost as bad as
english without spaces. I think some people may become irate because of the
time and effort they put into deciphering your emails, not the ideas you
present :)

soooo, you never really learned, you just keyed in snippets from books...

I don't think anyone claimed your ideas were 'fake'. I think there was question
of how interesting they would be if implemented, and question if someone
without a strong programming background could impliment them...

this is a place created for linux game developers, both those who are in need
of guidance and those who wish to guide (as well as clueless idiots like myself
who just want to pretend :). If I desired to talk about something totally
unrelated to games, I'd talk elsewhere, as to not irritate those with no
interest and short fuses. :)

because dos and linux hardware access is so different and the wide spectrum of
architectures that linux supports, the only way to do that would be to make an
interpreter (code, bytecode, whatever). Java already does that, as does perl
and scheme and... If you want it to run as a native binary, it has to be
compiled specifically for the os, but there are plenty of cross platform sdk's
to make that a nominal task :)
