Here's what I am thinking Dark (and thank you for being so supportive of my developments, sorry my game hasn't been able to work for you. I hope to port it to C++), I'm thinking that I used text files to cut down on file size for some parts of the game where SAPI would be reasonable (such as I have suggested), but I think that incorporating sound files into the program would be a great idea. The games that are being created should be self voicing, shouldn't they? By the way, sounds would be triggered via text files which contain the properties of a room.
