Well, if memory serves, MM was going to make a setting where SE4 could be set to use external combat modules. If that was done you could make a Ground Combat module without having to get the SE4 source code.

Really? I know I've suggested it, but I didn't think it was ever accepted for SE4.

Will,
thanks for the info. you are correct some of the books are the tricks of the gaming gurus plus teach yourself game programming in 21 days (just picked it up) and a few others. the tygpi21d looks like it will help me more than the gurus books. you are correct though the only way to do it is practice.

Im a programmer, but not a game programmer. Here is one site that I read to keep up on game development:

another thing for beginning game programming is trying to do too much with little experience. I don't think I could do a game on the scope of SEIV or Doom, without some more knowledge of things like DirectX and more knowledge of programming in general. (BTW, if youre going to be a CompSci major in college, get used to classes with only 1 or 2 girls... ugh, and Ive heard that back in the 80's it was actually 50% girls at one point)

You're just going to the wrong school. Last semester my class of 30 had 10 female students. This semester, my class of about 90 has about 40 female students. Plus, a lot of my other, non-CSci classes are skewed the other way (4 males in a class of 18).

That's not skewed. Now, my sign classes- THOSE are scewed. (first was 2 out of 30, second 3 out of 30, this one is 4 out of 35)
