Lol @chris, btw chris i just looked at the website you hosted the menu engine on... is that your band... the background made me lol.
I am a web developer for a company called EntiaMedia in England, I do HTML, PHP, Javascript/JQuery, Mysql, C++, Basic and random over languages if I have to. I'm pretty much a code monkey. Iv'e been doing this for about 6 months now, this would explain why I suddenly stopped having the time to use MMF and come visit TDC. I really wanna get back into it again, but most of the time after I have been coding all day its a struggle to come home from work and code some more. Though, coding with actual languages has made me realise how easy MMF is.
I find that sometimes the best way to learn is when something is needed, and at work, if I don't finish the job on time I fear my job, so I HAVE to learn the most efficient way of doing things. I bet plenty of people would be awesome at MMF if they did it for a job, wow... That would be so awesome...
I'm currently attending college, working on my associates in computer information technology, so i can get a better job doing stuff i'd much rather be doing.

Haha yeah my house mate gave himself FTP privileges to my website and likes to upload subtle alterations to pages and see how long it takes me to find them. It is VERY annoying! Haha thanks for pointing this one out! And yeah that is my band. I was wondering if anybody from The Daily Click would ever find that. If you're interested, we put out a new 3 song EP a few weeks ago. I play guitar and sing and write the songs.
I totally agree the best way to learn something is when you need it. That's how I learned Html, just when I needed to do something for my website. Same with MMF. I really like making example files because it forces me to think how and why I chose that way over an another. Commenting them usually takes me just as long as coding them. I'm not so great at articulating my thought process so it is very good practice.
for a living? i mean ive tried to pitch mmf to my company for the game im working on but we ended up with unity which we have heavily used in the past for other game projects.
Yes. I sell them to small computer magazines. Usually just small things like pacman clones and such.

I still havent looked at your songs yet, will do now.
You seem to do things the same way I do, I comment everything out, and make engines or examples rather than full games. Not that I wouldnt want to make a full game, I have tried, but in the end I think "hhmmm, I should make an engine for that so its future proof" or something.
I am working on a full game at the moment. A survival horror side scroller.
The examples I've been posting are things I've figured out and learned from working on this game. It is far from completion but I'm going to post an alpha version soon. Just gotta fix up a few odds and ends.
