Hehe!  The only reason I would ever hide any of my code is because it
resembles spaghetti junction than proper, procedural programming!

I agree.  I must admit this whole Tanvir thing is getting a little out of
hand, although he *has* kinda calmed down a little over recent weeks, but
for some reason he still insists on playing on peoples aggravations than
trying to just get stuck into the spirit of things.  Maybe I am wrong, and
he's a jolly nice chap in the flesh, but it is time he started acting a
little more sensible.  'Cmon Tanvir, I joined roughly the same time as you
(I think), and I have been working studiously to complete my first game
(Apples & Pears!!!!).  I know you have been told this before, but take it
from a novice - I didn't know how to program in C at all two months ago, and
now I've got sprites running all over the place.  All this is because I have
paid attention, listened to my peers (I.e. Better programmers) and worked
bloody hard.  Do the same, and success is only a step away...... :)

Hey, I'd love to collaborate with you - but, I am a crap coder - at least at
the moment, but if the offer is still up in a coupla months I'd love to work
on something ( or at least contribute!).....

Maybe when 'Apples & Pears!' is finished you can take a look at the source
and see what I *should* be doing right.  At the moment you've got more
chance of following a road map of the Antartica than my code!!!! ;)

>HOLIDAY

Poo....I want a holiday........!!

Cheers Rob!!!
