Thanx for your interest. So far I've had 6 people say "GREAT! LET'S DOIT!" and 1 "I'll watch, but I'm not real interested in games." I can deal with that. Just about everybody wants to build a game in Euphoria. Fine by me, I like games. =) More than likely we'll be doing a pacman type game from the ground up. Its the perfect game to teach the basics on, because it has so many issues: animated sprites which are aware of their surroundings and look where they are going, animated title sequences, intermissions, Artificial Intelligence, controls, and peculiar logic issues. I spent the day prototyping the sprite engine. On my euphoria page http://exo.com/~lgp/euphoria.htm theres a zip with my current tests, which have the sprites wandering around a quicky maze randomly, with animated sprites that look where they are going. I'm suprised it worked so quickly. I did the art last night until 3 am and started programming from scratch today and have them wandering now. Pretty cool stuff. I really dig Euphoria.
