These questions would be best answered by Last Future (I don't know
where he dissapeared to though.)  It was going to be a game, but we
could combine it with a utility program maybe.  It was going to be
something with shifting an image into place.  Eliminating tabs for
example.  Perl sounds good, but I don't know it.  I am currently taking
a C class and VB class.  I find them both very simple, but I am not sure
how deep my knowledge really is.  It would be cool if we could make it
for multiple platforms.  I don't know how much help I can be, I will be
gone this summer.  It sounds like we could probably get a lot of
different people to help.  We need to get a site set up or something. 
We could do an open source.  What do you think?  Really we need Last
Future's permission for all this though.  He was the first to mention
it.

Cool.  Wish I knew it.  Where would you get a compiler?

Good, now we just need to get started.  Are you good with algorithms?
