Hi Jim, I would agree with that. BGT is much easier than delving into a full blown programming language because the entire purpose of the toolkit was to wrap all the important game libraries like DirectInput, DirectSound, Sapi, various screen readers, etc and offer a simple and straight forward interface for them. There is no need to worry about creating your own interfaces for various Windows components because BGT does that for you already. All a new game developer has to do is use the classes and objects provided for them through the engine to begin writing his or her game which saves time and simplifies the process a great deal.
