No, I wish I had more, but if I spend more time on my Yaroze, I have less for everything else(ie school, work, relationship, family, friends) I just have to ration out my time. On the plus side, My class load will drop by a large amount during the summer, and I tend to spend a lot of my free time with my magic black box. >2 - Do you regularly read the various news groups? Usually once or twice a day I try to check anything new and read up on a few topics I don't understand (quite a few). >3 - Do you contribute to the various news groups? If I have anything to add, which I usually don't. I learn from the newsgroups, but usually there isn't anything for me to post that will improve them. >4 - Have you created a working program? No, but I believe that I will someday animate a sprite on my own and will understand how I did it, and a big part of that is a big thank you to Ira Rainey and Nelson Santos for their How to...Display sprites and Ping. They are an immense help and are making the curve a little less steep. >5 - Have you posted the program and/or source to your member page? No, but if I get a working program (and manage to learn enough HTML to create my page) I plan on posting it. If only to return the service that others have done to me. I can't really help them, but if my code helps another... well that's great. >6 - Do you regularly visit other member pages? I'm slowly working my way through them, although I stop at those that have been updated more recently first. >7 - Do you look at the resources on the other Yaroze sites (i.e. Europe > and Japan) I visit Europe as much as I browse through SCEA, but alas.. I am kanji impaired and, although they look nice and I'm sure that they would help me, I can't read a single character and thus the SCEI site has been marked with a mental off limits barrier.
