The ultimate dialup system comes next year. :) Well, i have/had a parser project on a very back burner and an ultima-type (tile game) that's in need of serious revamping and some monster routines on a back burner. Current projects are a book on writing games (supposed to be done in december for final editing, but i really wouldn't count on it) and a series of COBOL projects that are hardly games - COBOL isn't a language you use for fun. Oh yeah, and i'm offering support for any true novices and putting together lots of demo code - so far a sample parser, a vga sprite editor, keyboard demos (actually done by Josh at Utah state) and sooner or later an example of scrolling in mode D 320x200x16 with a following explanation of how Keen and similar games are done. Oh, and a pac man clone. But those aren't going to be games, or probably better, be very small games, just enough to illustrate how other people do these things. Teaching tools really. - baylor
