    A few days is excellent actually.

    I would like to have all the articles in by the end of December this year so I can work on formatting them and putting them into pages of the magazine using iStudio while I'm away for most of the month of January. Don't know how good my internet connection will be out there, I've heard horror stories so...

    Such is the life of a man with a committed career. Worry not though folks, I never forget you guys.

    Keep in mind that I can also include bonus files for each issue to be downloaded from the website.

    Yup you can include a complete source of your example game, however don't lean on those files for your article. It's only a bonus and as such the magazine article must be able to function without the included source just as well.

    But it is nice to have and very handy as I know from experience.

    I was just thinking that if I have to explain even a simple SDL program + very simple boulder dash game starting point in the magazine (including full code), then the article might become rather large
    Any advice?

    I guess I could break the article up into parts and give them to you so you can possibly put them in different issues depending on the overall size
