yeah, i would add this:

it takes a certain mindset to get into programming. I have met some people who, even after hours of professional tuition, still cannot get it. do not be discouraged though, as when you do grasp the fundamentals of programming, it's easy to transferr then to other languages, such as C/ C++, Python, or any others.

In a way, it's a shame you are learning using DinkC. why? because it teaches you some very bad habits, and isn't as feature rich, or as easy to learn as some other languages. then again, it's only a scripting language, not meant to be used extensively.

If you do ever want to learn another programming languages, i seriously suggest you take a look at python (www.python.org). It's easy to learn, powerfull, and platform independant. There are also various modules, which make doing things like building games, working with images, creating GUI's etc. etc. etc. much easier.

Any questions, feel free to email me:
