EU>Subject:      Thanx for the warm welcome...
EU>----------------------------------------------------------------------------

EU>I've received a lot of mail since I've joined.  I'm glad to see that
EU>there are others here interested in Euphoria.  I'm very excited about the
EU>language.  The ease of programming complicated things is very cool.

EU>I've received a bunch of inquiries about graphics programming in
EU>euphoria, specifically about moving sprites and backgrounds.  A number of
EU>people mentioned that they wanted to write a game, but didn't know how to
EU>do the graphics, logic, etc.  While I'm far from an expert on the
EU>language yet, I have spent the last 15 years designing computer games.  I
EU>thought I'd ask the group:

EU>would you be interested in a top down crash course in game design and
EU>production?  We could do a series of weekly(?) installments where we go
EU>from game design 101 to a finished, playable work.  I'm thinking maybe
EU>starting with the basic design issues and algorithms, then opening it up to
EU>the group to discuss how best to do the code. I think it would make for a
EU>flurry of ideas going back and forth and everyone could contribute what
EU>they know or discover, and everybody will get something out of it.

EU>What do you think?

ws?
