Do you think it will be legal to put the developer codes for Half-life on my webpage? Please advise me soon as I am making the webpage as I post this.



I only mean the Half-life original developer codes. I didn't think it would be illegal either. Thanks for your help! I can now make my website in peace. :smile:

If you're talking about the console commands, no.
If you're talking about Half-Life C++ source code, yes, it's very illegal.

I am fairly certain that putting the code up would be the last thing
you do, seeing how you would first need to gain access to Valves
software computers, and after the Half-Life 2 Source Code theft I am
also fairly sure that it is now somewhat impossible.

You could always go into valve secret headquaters with a big flash pen drive and copy over the source code.

Go buy a damn Rubik's Cube and then we'll talk!

And putting on socks! These days you need a damn doctorene in sock-installing! YEAH!

i can solve a rubik's cube... its pretty easy, you just need to know
the movement combinations. :biggrin: it would take mad skill to infiltrate valve's
fortress floating fifty feet above the ocean in the middle of the
atlantic, crawling with combine soldiers and manhacks... thats where
they keep the source code, btw. although health pick-ups and ammo are pretty abundant...

Isn't there some sequence you can do over and over and eventually it'll solve any rubiks cube? (I think it was derived from Choas Theory, which is only something someone told me, so I doubt it's true)

Meh. I stll wanna know how to get into the coding files of the original HL.

DevCPP, work damnit! :mad:

i dont know, i vaguely recall hearing about that... it would probably
be easier to do it the proper way. i solve the way erno rubik figured
it out, standard row-by-row method.(he built the cube without knowing
if it could be solved at all, and then figured it out) it seems that
someone has worked out a more efficient/faster way of solving it. first
i would need to find my cube, then i could learn that. my current best
time is 1:42, if i remember correctly. i never counted movements,
though.

Try learning a language and developing your own code.

What kind of socks are you wearing? Cause I find that hands are sufficient to get mine on.

I find using Tube Socks vastly simplifies the Grand Sock/Foot Theorem.
