Hey Wesbat and Voxel,
Thank you both so much! These are excellent suggestions.
I’ll try to keep you both posted, it’s going to be slow going however as I’m doing this purely for the joy of it.
The LaMothe suggestion is great, I’ve actually got one of his books with Sam’s – Game Programming in 21 Days, but have heard great things about the Game Programming Guru’s.
Going to check out the Brackeen tutorial and the Harbour book.
Thanks again, I really appreciate everyone taking the time to give me a few pointers here.
Chris
