About the discussion of which langauge to use: I am somewhat a 'veteran' of programming games, and of all those I have tried, the ones with assembler rank highest - only one instruction per line, and dead easy to read even without comments. Also, assembler could easily be translated into a form of english. Eg: ADD x, y could be translated into Add 5 to x. or Turn 1 could be translated into Turn left. Therefore you have a language that is a lot like the simple language the computer controlled LEGO uses - a kid can learn to progrmme it easily, and so can anyone else. Fo those who like obscure acronyms (like myself), the same language could be expreeesd in terms of ADD, MUL, DIV, etc. Nick
