You're going to have to put the disc into your computer, then install it, which is pretty much "downloading" it.
Nope.
Download - to transfer (software, data, character sets, etc.) from a distant to a nearby computer, from a larger to a smaller computer, or from a computer to a peripheral device.
Install - to place in position or connect for service or use
When you download something you receive files from a server. When you install something you are using files you already have.
Very often after downloading a program you need to install it so they are two different things.
Not necessarily you can download and install at the same time. Or just download to a directory.
But wouldn't you still be installing the files you are currently downloading? Even if you only have them for a fraction of a second before they install, they are still on your hardrive first.
Haven't seen anyone else mention it yet, so I figured I'd pipe up. The ArmorBlog has a very interesting article on How to Become a Game Developer, for anyone who might be interested.
cool yeah game maker is easy but kinda stupid u can do nothin with the games and stuff it's very limited
It isn't that limited, once you get to know all of it's capabilities. However, the drag and drop icons can only get you so far, and then you will have to learn GML (Game Maker Language).
http://inventwithpython.com/ try this site it lets you do anything. It is free. But it is not easy and you will have to learn. However I do not know if armorgames allows this kind of game, does anyone know? Anyways check it out.
- No discussions of software piracy, hacking, illegal material, or linking to these activities will be tolerated.
It's not illegal to post the link, it's illegal to pirate the program. So your not getting it for free, your stealing it.
The legality of pirating it depends on where you live and whether it is stealing is also questionable. The fact is it is not tolerated if you want to discuss this is detail go somewhere else.
