Define your idea of strategy.
I have been putting some thought into a turn based strat/rpg, its mostly ideas on written up on paper though.

starcraft clone basically.

we should probably write in a language which
- is easy to learn to allow a large developer pool
- has a graphics/sound/input/networking library
- fast development

my vote is obviously python, but i can learn anything. no lisp plz.

C# :)

If we go 2-d, System.Drawing is fine. If we want 3-d, Managed DX9 is fine too.

2d. We could use 3d models rendered in 2d, though.

A 3d game simply won't happen.

but the real question is, will it cleanly interoperate with real Starcraft? ;)

blah, stop being naive kp :)

Naive? I'm aware of the complexity of such a suggestion, and made it in seriousness. Besides, it'd be fun to see you try. :)

Im not sure I would be an accet with the programming as I dont want to learn a new language while learning Pascal at college but I would like to help manage it with support and geting people motivated and organisation(thats what im good at), so yeah, cool!

There are just toooo many games like that already.

So don't learn a language. Be an OOP designer or something. Draw us pictures. ;)

I could I supose, depends the kind of qualtiy you need. As I said im good at organisation and I CAN get people to work :D I really want to be part of it though, I dont want to be left out.

I think a game would be the most fun, but of course there's other stuff we could do.

I wouldn't mind helping out, I know a fair amount of C#.

I could draw some pics to help, too if you wanted.

I could masturbate while you guys make a game.

I think I can do that for myself, thanks!

I think the language of choice, for a communtity project on this forum, would have to be Visual Basic 6.0.  Why?  Because the majority of the users on here know that language!

Perhaps the language itself wouldn't be able to handle a game, but there are plenty of 3d engines outthere designed for that language.  The one I would have the highest hopes for is TrueVision3D.

Well I don't have VB 6.0, so...

I delegate you as the new leader of the project :)

Way to stay commited.  :-\

I wouldn't mind helping out either. I know a fair bit of C++, so i'll look into graphics libs and the like. I suppose OpenGL Is outta the question?? (Not that I know any)

I'm pretty sure we've moved on from the original idea....
