     Just remember, if you are gonna type in the code
from The Black Art...,(an
excellent tome) you have to use an older dos based compiler, Mr LaMothe
mentions the ones he used in the intro to the book.  His code does
not work with recent MS compilers.  If you are using a more current
compiler I would suggest one of his more recent books Windows Game
Programing for Dummies were he shows how to use, and get around
Windows.

I'm making an RPG right now.  First off.  Do you have a fairly good
knowledge of C++?  If you do, I recommend getting the book "The Black Art of
3D Game Programming" by Andre Lamothe.  Don't be thrown by the name.  The
first 5 chapters are on 2D game programming.  It would help you.  But if
don't have a fairly good understanding of pointers and object oriented
programming, I reccommend the books "C For Dummies" and "C++ For Dummies".
These are really good books and I stand by them!  I own pretty much all of
the For Dummies C++ books and I love them!
