Hello out there!  I/m a new commer to the game-programming scene, and I'd
like to get an idea of how to start making some simple programs for myself.
I have a good background in programming, especially C and C++.  Unfortunatley,
I don't feel confident enough in my graphics-programming to just jump right
in!

The kind of information I'd like consists of a variety of programming
sources.  I've made a pretty good carrer so far by learning from example,
from a book or instruction manual, or by using a generalized algorithm; any
sources would be welcome.

So, if anyone out there can recomend any books or FTP sites where I
can find some codes or algorithms, could you e-mail me?  The types
or programs I'd like to write is going to be based on the type of
information I can muster, so all advice is welcome.
						
						Thanks,
