	Let me put aside any delusions by saying that I know little about
programming games. I do however know a fair bit about programming and for
reasons too long to list here I want to try my hand at programming some
simple unpretentious games. The problem I have is making a start. I just 
don't know where to, but this group seems like a good idea. I have both 
an Amiga and access to a PC, and I want to try my hand on the PC, though
any tips on the Amiga will also be appreciated.
	Ideally I'd like some sample code (eg a block bouncing around the
screen will do nicely) some ideas on the graphics handling, language used and
tools needed. Not much is it :-) ?
	I've been waiting for the FAQ but it doesn't seem to appear so I'm just
asking straight out.
	As I say any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.
