- Let me put aside any delusions by saying that I know little about
- programming games. I do however know a fair bit about programming and for
- reasons too long to list here I want to try my hand at programming some
- simple unpretentious games. The problem I have is making a start. I just
- don't know where to, but this group seems like a good idea. I have both
- an Amiga and access to a PC, and I want to try my hand on the PC, though
- any tips on the Amiga will also be appreciated.
- Ideally I'd like some sample code (eg a block bouncing around the
- screen will do nicely) some ideas on the graphics handling, language used and
- tools needed. Not much is it :-) ?
- I've been waiting for the FAQ but it doesn't seem to appear so I'm just
- asking straight out.
- As I say any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.
