[AGDev-newbies] Engines was Hello all...

[Thomas Ward]

Hi.
Just learning language fundimentals is where most of you should be at 
this point. Once you know how to work with C#.net, C++, or whatever you 
have chosen to learn you can see how to convert what you know to 
something useful for games.
For examples arrays are something most books discuss in terms of data in 
business oriented apps. At some point I want to show you guys how to 
take the array type, and convert it in to a 2D and 3D table for holding 
all your info about the game level such as placement of doors, Windows, 
walls, dropped items, etc.
My Montezuma's Revenge Temple class is basically nothing more than a 2D 
array with some functions for updating and reading from the array where 
the keys, swords, skulls, and other things are.
That is how you make temples, and other structures in your tgames.
