I'm not a gal, but I can probably help you. I'm going to post full source to my top-down scrolling game, which also has music, to my web site very soon. Just as soon as I get my Web page up. But as my girlfriend is just back from New Zealand and I haven't seen her for 4 weeks it might not be that soon ;) You will be able to download the code from there. It has code for accelerating and braking the car, although it is pretty basic. To program the Yaroze you really need to know C, and you need to know a bit about the mechanics of game programming. A great book that helped me was 'Tricks of the Mac game programming gurus'. You should get a copy - there's loads of sample code which you can apply in a Yaroze environment. Also look at the members' Web sites - there's plenty of stuff for downloading there. Also check out the 2D tuturial stuff (tuto0.c - tuto9.c) that comes on the Codewarrior CD but is also available from the main Yaroze web site (see the demos section) Best wishes Phil
