Dependence on Programming Experts

[Tariel Gogoberidze]

Greg,

Concerning your first would be project, it probably would take more 
than one tool to accomplish such task.

  You may want to take a look at the Myst like game "Aida"  written in 
Revolution <http://www.runrev.com/spotlight_on/>

I don't know how much programming author had to do,  but he claims that 
it took him about a week to get started developing this game in 
Revolution and the web link above has a  "case study" and game making  
Tutorial that may give you some insights.

As for SmallTalk, after you scratch the surface you will probably 
discover that some programming / coding skills would be required there 
as well and I don't think that programing in SmallTalk is  less 
challenging than it is in Revolution

best regards
Tariel
