Sure you learn more indepth C coding styles, but most call it a waste of time =). I learned by taking the snippets and base code and just tinkering with it. Such things as spells, skills, and specprocs are great to learn off of. cw! +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
