I might pick me up the November issue > today... Yeah. There's very little in the actual magazine - just instructions on how to set up the compiler and other tools and a Bitmap Brothers interview. On the disc there's a general purpose 2D library; the C++ source is included for those who want to tinker, but they'll be concentrating on the game code in the tutorials, the first part of which is a short test program (a starfield plus sprites moving up the screen). The design document and graphics for the project are also included which is nice. But no sound or music yet. I'm in the process of converting the 2D lib to yaroze (it's a good excuse to learn C++), and the parts necessary to run the first test program are almost done. I'll try to update my site before the next issue comes out on the 15th. Derek da Silva > George
