Actually, I'd be interested in seeing your Risk app if you don't mind.
 I'm working with the Canvas control for the first time where it's
 absolutely necessary for me to have one (I started my Risk game as a
 self-learning exercise). I'm having a bit of a time getting my head
 around creating custom controls and getting them to do what I want.
 Examples are few and far between, and the Risk map had me baffled even
 on where to start creating the functionality. I'm actually using your
 DragPics example from your website as a starting point for the central
 project I'm currently working on.
 
 
 Thanks!

 I think the hardest part of this might be making th AI good
 enough to be fun to play against, and it would also be cool if you
 could choose to play against someone else on the same computer or over
 the internet.
 
 
 Is anyone interested?
 
 
 
 I started on such a game a few years ago; as I recall, I have an app
 with all the countries on it, which can be drawn on any color, and
 when you click one, its color pulses to show that it's selected.
 That's about as far as I got before losing interest.  (FYI, there is a
 very good commercial implementation of Risk for both Mac and Windows.)
 
 
 I'd be happy to share my code as a starting point if anybody wants it.
 
 
 Best,
 
 - Joe
