Cymon:
I feel honoured, you may put it up on your site.

I've been visiting your site frequently last weeks,

Could you guide me to some good places on the internet where they specifically talk about C with Curses (Yes I've used google, only the info is pretty scattered I think)? +What is the best active curses-community on the net from what you know?
I want to learn C while using curses directly from the start, instead of learning C with stdio first.

As far as I know there isn't one. I think part of the problem is Curses isn't new. There's no active development community, which is a shame because I'm running out of Curses programs. The cboard has some good curses programmers. GameDev too.

Or do you think I should learn C from the simple tutorials (that use stdio) first and get into curses soon?

The advantage to stdio is the existence of cheat sheets. I'm actually in the process of making a curses cheat sheet, tho, so that should change soon.

Thanks for your reply,

I thought, since there are groups still making ascii-art, or demos in c64-asm, or games with pixels as big as pixels on a zx81, there should be a group of people besides the roguelike-developers, that like to make ascii games. Too bad.

that cheatlist a nice idea

You know, I'd start one if I had any idea how to snag an audience.

I landed on my third or fourth go, lots of 7s until I got close to the ground, then 9s.

I think the minimalist title screen looks great.

I also loved it.  How much of this is taken from a genre and how much is exactly copied?

YOU ARE ON THE MOON.
YOU LANDED SUCCESFULLY WITH A SPEED OF 1 M/S,
IT TOOK YOU 20 SECONDS,
YOU HAVE 1 FUEL UNITS LEFT,
I WONDER WHAT YOU WANT TO DO HERE.
REFRESH TO TRY BETTER.

You should use this as your "cockpit"
