Your path will likely look something like: Become more familiar with the fundamentals of computers. What they're made of, how those parts work together, etc. Learn the fundamentals of programming.

Pick up a set of tools for dealing with 3D graphics, sound, etc. and play with them until you've got a handle on how they work. ----------------------------------- Anime Freak Wed Sep 01, 2004 7:51 pm ----------------------------------- i was mummified zombie but i changed to this cause i didn't like the other name > ruby calc.rb Alternatively you can use the interactive runtime, which should be installed with the installer.
