Only two posts, and the last one on November 21st... hmm... another one bites the dust? He sounded so enthusiastic. Perhaps he's a genius who turned out to need zero assistance... hey, anything's possible.
I took a break when I finished my C textbook on December 9. Now I'm planning variables for my text adventure project, and cracking open a book on C++.
Thank you again, to all who have been so helpful and patient with my questions!
