...taking a video game and converting it into a board(??) game. I have seen many go the other way, but correct me if I am wrong, I am not aware of any previous video games gone board games.

Hello, good AC. You do realize that 10 is has the same value in both base 10 and base 16, right? I think you meant if it was a scale from 1 to 1F in hex...
Actually, when as a kid I transistioned from BASICA (DOS 3.33) to QuickBASIC 4.5, that was when I started using SUBs and FUNCTIONs. I was able to reuse a lot of code and the layout of my programs made a lot more sence to my young mind. I already had the MS BASIC compiler for BASICA so it was a requirement for me that QB 4.5 had a compiler. I also loved the View Subs screen in QB as it let you quickly jump to what you were working on.
As to learning it, I used the help file, it is pretty much everything you need. I also had the BASIC binder that came with DOS 2.11 to fall back on (remember how much documentation used to come with an OS?).

I am the Sr. programmer where I work. I only have an associates degree (well, and 3/4 a bachelors in IT, plan to get a masters in CIS eventually...). I have been programming since I was eleven or twelve, 15 years ago. I do quite well without the degree.
I honestly have not learned very much in a classroom setting. Almost all of my programming skills are self taught. I am not saying a CS degree is useless or that I don't secretly wish I had gotten one before I got married and had bills to pay, just that you can get hired as a programmer and write some nifty apps without one.
I personally hate math. But for some reason, when I am expressing equations in code, it is a natural thing I don't think about. If I had to take a math test, however, I would probably do horribly.

There are of course many, many other places to acquire Palm ROMs. But if the average Joe can't get to the legit ROMs, then ones floating in the ether are pretty much out of reach as well;)
it is completely unsurprising that something like an OS replacement fails on the WinCE emulator
Just for the record I was using POSE on a windows box. I am a staunch Palm user and programmer, and would not be using the WinCe emulator;)
I disagree, first off, what would "the average person" need a ROM image for? Developers on the other hand, that actually have a use for the ROM image files can figure it out. There really aren't that many hoops to jump through to get the ROMs.
The emulator just simulates the hardware, you need to either upload the ROM image from your own Pilot or register as a developer with Palm. Then they will give you access to ROM images of all models, even Handspring, Symbol, IBM, and others. Some of these manufacturers handle this themselves.
Palm Linux is non emulatable (is that a word?). I and many others tried in vain to load the ROM image of Palm Linux onto the Palm Emulator, it is a non-standard ROM.
At work I write complex reporting apps in ASP (VBscript and Jscript) which feed off a MS SQL 7 database. I have written VBA modules in Access to generate Snapshot Viewer doc's from Access reports which also feed off the same DB's for formatted printable reports. I have also written activeX controls that print the reports for the user with one button click, and others that import the data into Excel, both from web pages on our intranet.
How did I do all this? I READ A FUCKING BOOK! Well, a bunch of them. I am the author of a large intranet and a growing extranet and all it takes is imagination and the willingness to dive in...

DOH! It has been a long day... and a long time since I was in class. It made sterling sence when I wrote it. I will scurry off now :-)

Wrong. We run a 22GB+ ERP system (Baan) on SQL 7 and several gig of other SQL DB's on two multiproc servers and performance is quite nice ;)

What's messed up is that some dumbass mod'd this as a troll... I enjoyed programming my XT and the ][e's at school when I was a young'in ;)
I have not shot anyone, as a matter of fact it gave me a leg up later in life.
