Thanks for the post, I have never heard of the Royal Road before, it was something interesting to read. I have done very simple programs before in a few different programming languages, but nothing that complex. This is the next chapter in my little hobby. I am trying to learn how to do API's, and network access. I figured that this would kill two birds with one stone. Perhaps you have a recommendation or project to suggest to learn these, that may be a little easier? Thanks for the help.
