Thank you, that sounds very encouraging. Luckily, the project is planned to be relatively simple scope-wise, so I am not worried about overdoing myself - so I have more time to spend to learn and adapt.

I could probably live without 3D sound, but I would love to have it, though... I'll check OpenAL and other libraries and see what I can find.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
