assembly or directx?
i was kind of hoping there'd be a nice happy thing like the serial port (the readfile thing). i finally understand that now

.
i'm mostly a C++/PBASIC programmer, but i guess i could learn either assembly or directx (isn't that a library extension onto C++ or something like that?). one thing though, i believe like the dashboard program i made, it will be creating a text file that is read into a flash program. that means there needs to be enough resources to let the flash program work (which there should be either way if we use a good computer, but i believe we'll be using this at school, and well, the school computers pretty much suck

). if you can write something up in assembly in 20 minutes, then it never hurts to try. if you can find the directx stuff it'd be interesting to try, but don't kill yourself trying to do it. and thanks for the help
