I have an old(really old) version of RB and CD. :-|

The only problem with demos/examples is they can't talk back
and tell why it was done this way instead of this way, tell
what I'm doing wrong , tell me ok now do this or answer
any question I might have.

Also after looking at examples then try to fit it in
with my project is not always easy.
For me it not always easy to understand.


I like to show what I have then get help with what to
do next and how with what I have.

Once I get a game under my belt it will be much easier
to do another one.

Thanks

Eric :-)
