1. Very Basic Game Creation
If you're wanting to make a game in Euphoria, this article/tutorial may help
you in the right direction. I've left it very open and non-specific for a
reason: I want it to be useful to say, a BASIC or C programmer as well. If
you love it, hate it, or just want something changed, please, email me.
This may be freely distributed, changed, adapted, or completely rewritten as
long as "Greg Phillips" appears somewhere in the text.
This will NOT teach you how to make the next Quake III, nor is it an
in-depth guide. It is only meant to give an overview of the elements of a
game, and the process of creating one.
So, without further ado, here's my offering:
A Beginner's Guide to Game Programming in Euphoria

Tell me what you think!
Regards,
Greg

I've been looking at these sites. There's a lot to wade through.
