Sure wish they would come back :-) I'm still about, and check this newsgroup regularly, but I haven't checked any of the others for ages (as Outlook Express did it's silly 'I'm not gonna work just to piss you off' trick and I needed to reinstall an' all), so I won't be sure of what's new and what's not. I haven't done much programming at all for a long while. I couldn't do much at the start of the year, as it was leading up to my GCSEs, and there was loads of last minute coursework and revising. Then after the exams, I had 8 weeks before returning to 6th form, and my plan had been to spend that time programming, but my big plans were scuppered by a 4 week holiday to the US, with my family. the next 4 were wasted with getting over jet lag, catching up with mates, anticipating GCSE results and finally realising I'd be starting A-Levels in a week. Now, with the A-Level workload, and the amount of extra-curricular activities we're encouraged to take part in for UCAS references, I barely have the time to do anything. However, one encouraging thing is that I've had loads of ideas for games, and have been jotting them down, and the last thing I was working on was a library of functions which simplifies everything, which when I finish, will allow my to quickly knock out a few basic games. Anyway, enough of my story of the past year, I gotta go get some sleep... Rikki
