Hi,  It's Thursday Afternoon, December 14, 1995

I need to build an application that allows me to catch random flying
"sprites" over a nice window.  It should allow my mouse to catch them
and drag them to a box where they will be displayed.  It should also 
be able to be paused and to record statistics on how many caught, etc.

A "sprite" is a graphic that has transparent areas through which the 
background it is sitting on can be seen.

I am new to the programming game and I would like to know if there are 
any books on this subject, if there is already code out there for this,
and if so where, or if anybody can help me out with what libraries to 
include and so on.  I am not quite sure where to start.

Thanks in advance,

Neil McCann
