I've received a lot of mail since I've joined. I'm glad to see that there are others here interested in Euphoria. I'm very excited about the language. The ease of programming complicated things is very cool. I've received a bunch of inquiries about graphics programming in euphoria, specifically about moving sprites and backgrounds. A number of people mentioned that they wanted to write a game, but didn't know how to do the graphics, logic, etc. While I'm far from an expert on the language yet, I have spent the last 15 years designing computer games. I thought I'd ask the group: would you be interested in a top down crash course in game design and production? We could do a series of weekly(?) installments where we go from game design 101 to a finished, playable work. I'm thinking maybe starting with the basic design issues and algorithms, then opening it up to the group to discuss how best to do the code. I think it would make for a flurry of ideas going back and forth and everyone could contribute what they know or discover, and everybody will get something out of it. What do you think?
