Which are you planning to use? What do you mean by "graphics"? A minesweeper game (see www.adapower.com) with a very slowly changing set of icons, or a Castle Wolfenstein type with panning and zooming of textured surfaces, or something like Pong with separately moving small objects, or what? Check out at "engine_3d" on www.adapower.com, for instance. > i know ADA isnt the best language for games, You know wrong. It can do drawing as well as anything, plus it has built in multi-tasking and timing and even multi-computer distributed programming.
