New Project Posted

As well as writing the serious tutorial stuff, I've been relaxing by converting a classic computer game 'Star Trek' from Tiny Basic into C. It's now live in the projects.

That took me back to my university days when I spent a fair bit of my spare time adding new features to the Star Trek game they had there. Trouble was, if more than three of us played it at once, the mainframe computer (an ICL 1904A) slowed down to a crawl and annoyed the other 50 users who were trying to do serious stuff!

The project site is a bit of an experiment and a work in progress with a collection of projects. I'll post code that I've written or converted for you to download and play with and if you can improve on it (not hard!), feel free to send source code back to me for posting in the project.

It's not just for one language either- I'd like to see all three language versions posted and will fit in C++ and C# versions eventually. I've documented what I've done, so you can see more meatier code that you'll find in tutorials.

I also welcome ideas for new projects. Practical or at least feasible ideas. I won't be creating any new Operating Systems or compilers mind you! Suggestions to the usual email address : cplus.guide@about.com.

Now back to writing tutorials for me!
