Hi Dark, Thanks for the suggestion! I got scared off from programming (or rather, learning) when the tutorial for Python I was using just seemed daunting! I'm hoping I'll have more luck with BGT, and I think it's a good place to start since it was designed with audio games in mind, not to mention that it was recommended several times.
I do have a bit more time now (though I don't anticipate really making much headway until summertime) when my master's will be complete! I'll let you guys know what progress I make, hopefully sooner rather than later.
