Bit of a long shot seeing as you dont really know me that well, but I might be able to help you with a few things, if there's some things that you cannot be bothered, or things that you dont have the time to do.
you're always welcome to ask . I dont bite (not always anyway :P)
I use Blitz Max. It's a C/C++ compiler that includes a lot of libraries to do things easily, I actually havn't written a single line of C in the whole thing. The original system was done in Blitz3D.
