Hi, Some more information straight up would be useful. Things like: Is it a commercial/freeware/shareware game? What Platforms should it run on (DOS Windows95/98/NT/2000/XP Linux)? Is graphics design/music composition/sound effects required? Who are you? Do you have experience in game design? Why are you wanting someone else to write a game for you? What type of game is it? (matching words/numbers/letters/shapes/sounds) I'm sure I could think of another dozen questions if I put 10 minutes aside. Making a game is a huge amount of work (even a very simple game). To get people interested I think you need to come across with alot more information. One place where you might get good results is by asking at the Allegro games library site: http://www.allegro.cc This site has a messge board and is completely related to making games. Euphoria is good for making games as well ... just that there aren't many people here (that I know of) making games. I don't want to put you off your idea, making games is fun!

Hi Ray, I tried to install your program, no short cut was created. Please advise. Thanks for the tip on allegro.

Hi Bob, > I tried to install your program, no short cut was created. Please > advise. If your talking about my "Euphoria Games Pack" from the "Recent User Contributions" they aren't really full games ... just demo games I created to test my Euphoria Allegro wrappers. If you want to run the games it's best to start a DOS session, "cd" to the directory where you unzipped the file and execute the programs by "exw dodgem" or "exw invaders". As I said they are not full games so I haven't created an installation program which creates shortcuts or un-install scripts etc. Ray Smith http://rays-web.com
