I suppose not ages... but long enough. That is actually one of the projects currently under development in the Game Development Club I founded here on campus at WPI. Along with AI scripts for Circle in LUA. In any case... since you asked what we did... I'm studying Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I've been programming CircleMUD since I can remember coding C. I learned C first, then C++, which seemed like a logical step for me, but it seems that a lot of schools are leaving C to the kernel hackers... which is a shame... C was a good foundation for C++ for me. In any case... I agree with Mike, that C++ is founded upon C, and that picking up a book will help you learn C a little quicker. The one thing you need to be careful of, is that C isn't designed to be as OO friendly as C++. I tend to think that C is a more functional language than C++. (That's not saying you can't program OO in C, it just not strictly designed to be OO like Java or C++) Good question btw...
