yep, i decided to give coding a try. my first try yeilds this:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int age;
int number;
int combon;
char agev [20];
char noun [20];
char numberv [20];
char dood [20];
puts("follow onscreen instructions and receive a username");
puts("enter a noun: ");
scanf("%s",noun);
puts("enter a number (in numeral(s)");
scanf("%s",numberv);
number=atoi(numberv);
puts("enter your age (in numbers): ");
scanf("%s",agev);
age=atoi(agev);
combon=age*number;
printf("%s%d is you new username",noun,combon);
scanf("%s",dood);
return(0);
}
this compiles fine, so i got more confident and tried a text editor:

i think im ready too move on to fsscp (with a different compiler of course).
but too complete my first goal...
where is the "swivel thruster" code that makes the territary thrusters move?
