Total Posts: 63 | I have a friend at school whos about as good at programming as me
and he's made a couple games for him and is friend but they're kinda dumb.
the thing is he has a bunch of games he "said" he made but i found
out that he just got them off the net. but everyone thinks he's a really good programer
a couple other people know hes a fake but haven't really told any one
the thing is should I expose him or just let it be? |

Edit | Pfft. Expose him. Crash and Burn!!! AHAHAHA!
I used to put my own name on stuff a bunch o years ago, and people would ask me if I made them, and I'd say, "no."
As long as he isn't releasing em on the net, he's really fine. |

He might aswell say its his, becsue it'll never happen. I could put my name on Phoenix and pass it out, becasue I know I will never meet PAD...I can see how some people might be mad, but seriously come one...its a calculator progrma ;-) |

Edit | LOL. One of those has got too...
Someone had taken my Age of Darkness game, Renamed it Golden Sun, and posted it at ticalc.org. He didn't change the name of any of the game files, put in the prog description that I stole it from him (though mine had been on ticalc.org for over a year) and just randomly did stuff like that.
Since this guy isn't doing it yet, then I would say leave him be, though you should tell him that some people are protective, so he should be carefull...

If you send an email to filearchive@ticalc.org with a link to your original program and the jacked version by the other guy I am sure they will take care of it, at least they should. |

Edit | It already has been. This happened a few months ago. And surprisingly, Joey was the one who handled it... |
