Yeah, me too, but I guess I'll have to learn this fall, since it'll be used in

Sure I understand, that's not the problem. I don't have time or energy for a
big project, and I really don't want to screw around with trying speed up
graphics! I might make some kind of Hack or Moria-style game though.

Oh yeah! The thing about this project is it keeps the "world"-map on disk and
read only the pieces it needs, saving even more memory. (Or making larger
worlds possible)
