sorry about the MFC bashing. It is just that i looked at DirectPlay, and then at winsock to do multiplayer type stuff. If you have never seen DirectPlay code, give your self a pat on the back, for you have stayed on the path of light. To open a DirectPlay game, it requires 40 pages of code. To start a winsock game, the networking bit is maybe 2 pages. Then i compared DirectX with glut, and it was the same. And then mfc's music / sound stuff with fmod (fmod.org is a great site if you want sound in your apps). Every time i look at the microsoft way of doing it, i want to puke. I'll admit that I have never really given it a fair chance, and that their must be a reason that they sell so much stuff, but I really don't like their methods, or at least the methods that i have seen from them.
Any way...
Thanks for all the help. I thought about doing it in java, but i have no experience with the language. Should I teach myself Java? My school is begining this year to offer it, and i am always in the room they do it in... But I don't want to confuse it with C.
Ill check out those links as soon as i am on a computer.
Mine is making jackhammer noises that would scare small children, and would prompt exorcism if i was more religious.
Thanks again
