Oh, and one more thing... get the hell away from C... if
you want to learn a programming language along those
lines, go with C++ or C#. I found C++ quite easy to
grasp. Most of the keywords are pretty intuitive and
there are plenty of free compilers out there (Dev-C++ is
my favorite).

Hope this helps.

There's a lot behind "making" a game -
I'd suggest (a) checking out a decent bookstore, as there are books on game
programming - but they wont' typically help deal with artwork, etc.
(b) head over to diabloii.net and read the (ongoing) "behind the veil"
series, which is actually written by someone about the process they went
through (design, management, testing, etc.)
(c) if you haven't, learn the language(s) you want to use *first,* so you're
comfortable with them before tackling trying to program a game.
