I couldn't agree more. If it weren't for Michiel, the programmer and his frequent tutorials I would probably have given up before now, but then again I see the enormous potential of the program even with its limitations. Either that or I'm just plain stubborn. Then again you know what they say about Irish lads. actually I have a feeling that once I can get the opponent, flies and things to behave how I want them to, get the scoring ironed out and record the numbers, and of course once I test it, my Frogs and Flies game might just be ready to put online or send to anyone who wants to try it. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. J.D.
