... If you feel that you have it in you
to become a programmer we would like to hear
from you. So if you have written, or are writing a
program please send us a copy to review. Original
games ideas are just as important as your
programming skill, so don't be put off if you feel
that your idea is good, but that your programming
lets you down.
