You appear to be advancing just fine to me. When I started, I couldn't even run Win. '95. I just finished my first book on game programming. And still, when I study yaroze code, my brain sometimes aches. I just took a few weeks off, to get away and refresh my self, and I feel rejuvenated again. I even formated my hard drive and reloaded my software, just to clean house. Slow and steady progress, you know you will get where you want to go. People go to tech school for four years to master games programming, I think the term 'hobby' can be a bit misleading. A number of members seem to have even given up. I think that's unfortunate. I intend to keep plugging away, learning new things everyday until I get where I want to go. The only sad thing about my little vacation was that I lost all the original messages from the groups going back to the start of the program when I formated my hard drive. [sob] If you ever feel buggered again, just take a break. Your brain can only absorb so much in a given time. -Matt, who apologizes for being so touchy-feely!
