Did you start with GScript?

Yup. It taught me the basics of programming that has helped me skip the intermediates of most other languages and jump right into the complicated stuff.

Sadly though, my only other attempts at programming was C++, and that was too intimidating for me, and I hated the fact that I couldn't jump right into graphical stuff. I lost patience with it and forgot about it.

I've been wanting to get into programming for a while but never tried hard enough to learn/gather the resources. I heard original Graal was written in Delphi, so I've wanted to try that but I don't think I've found any free compilers for it or anything.

Yeah Delphi is not free, but you have the same problem, you can't dive directly into graphics programming like you can with gscript, and that has been a reason why I disliked alot of packages.

One day I decided to learn DirectX programming in Visual Basic 6, and after about six months I had discovered I had remade Graal x-x (Tiling engine, NPCs, it could even open and load .NW levels, Although it ran at 60fps on a very cruddy computer, none of this 20fps lark :O)

Infact I'd say the closest thing to GScript in terms of direct graphics processing is Flash :O
