Maybe this isn't really the best topic to place my thread in, but I couldn't think of any other.

Im planning on setting up a website, but I can't come up with a good name.:confused:
My website will about C# (game) programming, and it will have some tutorials to teach people a bit of C#, and eventualy creating their own games.

Please help me out.

Thank you for the reply. I like the using of Sharp, instead of CSharp, so I'll deffinitly use that I guess, I'm not sure about the Games or Gaming part though. Though my site will contain some games and sample games, its not really all about games.

I really hate choosing names, sometimes when creating a programm, I spend 15 minutes thinking of a good name. For a site however I really want a good name, as it's important. Bad names will scare away visitors. So that's why I'm asking you for help.

Any ideas are welcome.

It's probably gonna be SharpGameProgramming or something, not really sure yet.

I think I'll stick around with Sharp Game Programming for now,

I've already started creating a layout for my site, I'll attach it to my post.
I'm still a noob at creating sites so don't laugh at it please :P

Change .txt into .html and open in browser… I guess the images wont show up for you guys so I'll take a screenshot. I saved it as JPEG, otherwise size was over 3mb, so quality sucks.. here it is.

Suggestions for layout, name, other things all welcome :)

To have people be able to see the images you have to send them the images. Right click > Save As… > Save as type > Web page, complete

Then it will put a folder full of pictures and stuff to where you save it and a .html file :) Then send it to people! :)

Hermpie, I already added you, I'm Martijn, but I've only spoken you once.

And to everyone else, Thanks for all replies!!
I'm currently not busy with my site or writing games tutorials, I'm trying to create a better Ray-Tracer again :(.

Once I'm done or given up on that I'll come back over here to pick a name, finish lay-out, add some content, finish C# beginner tutorial, write some more tutorials covering XNA I guess, write some kind of game engine or a 3D game, finish up the site, write another tutorial, and then publish the site. And I'll deffinitly add a forum, I've already though about that, but this was rather a test, I created it in 5 minutes. (Photoshopping time excluded :P)

I don't have any school this week, so I'll try to keep programming untill about 03:00 - 05:00 every morning to speed up a bit on the raytracer.
I'm afraid it will take me over a month to finish though, or maybe I give up in a week :/

It's supposed to be real-time, but I already now there's now way on earth I could achieve that, even my 2D rendering engine wont be real-time when alot of scaling/rotating needs to be done.

If you think I should really work on my site (and tutorials/games) first, just say it and I'll try :P

Btw: some renders of my first ray tracer are here http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?p=549944#post549944
They are in seperate and zipped though, to preserve quality.
