I will have a play about and come back to you if I need some clarification.

I also just came across this series of videos

have not had time to look at them yet, but they look very good

From what I have read, it seems that Alpheratz has worked very hard to ensure that the standard techniques work in-game*. If what he writes is true, and he has developed an almanac that will work with the game, then I should be able to provide you with any help you might need.



Just let me know if you run into any stumbling blocks. A little help along the way can be the catalyst to a much deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts. (And it can also help by explaining the [sometimes outdated] jargon which often confuses the "uninitiated".) And if you really understand what's going on, the chance of making a mistake is greatly reduced.


Cheers!


* To be clear: this is not a trivial task. I'm not entirely sure that everyone here appreciates how much work must've gone into this.
