You could if you don't want to make it internet based to do it in Visual Basic. It's very easy that way and takes little practise. I know because it was the first type o program i made (well a much worse version od that Kings Of Chaos game)
I use IE 6 SP2 It's really, really good. The speed is ok (thats because I have T1) No annoying pop ups (only IE4 and older had them :shock:) and it is userfriendly so you when I'm on and half asleep I don't go dizzy from all the icons. I tried FF but it didn't work well and Opera will I just couldn't be bothered to tweak it and it was slower than IE. GO IE SP2
Ok this is how you improve you idea 1. Get graphics, even if your not good a rough sketch would give you lots of support 2. More info. Stats, where to get them, are they quest etc. We need more info to judge your idea. You have a good basis so once you get more ideas up I'll probly be supporting this
