Hey everyone. Just wondering, whats the easiest way to make "modern" graphics in games that don't look like DOS graphics? I'm designing an RPG game, which I have a fair amount done, and it's currently text only, as I am unsure of how to do decent graphics.

Also, how would I go about playing an .mp3 file from a particular directory? I made the music for my RPG game, but I'm unsure as to running the files and stopping them...

Thanks,

Oh, and sorry if this isn't the place to put this... I think I posted it in the wrong place.
