Hi all,

I am a novice programer (Pascal and Basic in HS). I am interested in
creating a card game that is a variationof canasta. I know noone will
make a this game for the mac so If i want it I will need to make it.

The first qauestion is what programing language should I explore?

The game is hand and foot and rules are available online if anyone is
interested. It's a bit like rummy on steroids.

All advice is appreciated.

I am using tiger 10.8 on a Macbook Pro

Aside from the other advice you've already received, if you intend to
continue using newsgroups as a source of help, you will need to stop
multiposting. See:

Sorry about the Xpost. I wasn't sure about activity levels on these
groups. I thought (incorrectly) that sebding the posts seperately was
more polite even if they were identical.

btw I am an RAsoftware fan

Well, you have to learn somehow. I assume you're new to the concept of
newsgroups, so I don't expect you to know everything at once.

Thanks for saying so, I'm happy to hear it.
