Free with purchase of source engine (HL2 or Counter strike source) It's great and advanced but it's best if you're into those games that use it and there's more than 5

Hammer kicks ass. I use hammer and Source SDK for my FPS design.

Impossible. You can't do it. It's a feat beyond your capabilities. Give up. I don't know exactly how to work it but this road starts with a speed bump so I know it's hardest at first. Other than that I don't know how to start from the beggining with a project. I wish there were better turorials and clear software that could explain this process. Strangely enough I havn't been able to find too many sites that give a simple and complete guide to using C++ programing and what you need to run a full application properly. If the members of the project wants more people to get involved this should be made more available, unless it isn't at all.

Love the ambition, as long as you don't sell something commercialy LA can't really do much. The websites cool and if the goal of Deisgames is to do digital work for no profit you'll be fine. ps. Could you add a members/resume section to the site for people who want to describe themselves, their skills, or their interests.

I would join, if I knew the programming better

I would like to help. I havn't made a game from scratch but I have had some modding experience with the Quake (PK3) engine. I am willing to be an active member of the group and I have allot of time on my hands.
