Hi Orin and all, Might I just say something real quick about BGT and Laurel's request. As I recall Laurel seemed interested in creating games for her IPhone. While I agree using BGT for Windows games is the best place to start, but if Laurel wants to write games for her IPhone BGT won't work. She'll have to consider a programming language and tools supported by her IPhone. Keep that in mind when handing out suggestions like this.
Cheers!
