I’m currently working on an engine for a SC/C&C/AoE style RTS. If I have any questions (which I will) I’ll put them here, rather than starting a new thread for each question. I’ll also try to post regular updates and screenshots as I progress. Wish me luck 🙂

Questions:  
Get and parse string data from text document?

Updates:  
I’m working on basic sprites and terrain right now.  
Terrain is done, I’ll do sprites later.  
I’m working on the terrain generation.  
My friend has been at my house all weekend, I haven’t had time to work on it.  
The map is typed.  
Writing the code for rendering the map.
