I never said "make me a game" I said I wanted to create a game but I had no idea how to do that using Euphoria. I've tried to read the manual. I've tried looking at the demos. I've tried following emailed instructions. and somehow miraculously enough I still cannot understand this "easy" language. And if this is how you treat someone who stated that they were a Newbie, then good luck, and goodbye. * batteries not included
