I tried to make it simple and understandable, my pardon if i underestimate your ability.

in system.vc:

//load a font into the memory
int font=loadFont("myfont.png");

//the very fist thing verge calls after being run
void autoexec()
{

//display text onto the screen using the font declaired above
printstring(0,0,screen, font, "message");

//update the montior
showpage();

//wait for the user to hit enter before proceeding
while(!key[SCAN_ENTER])
{
//updates keys, without this verge wont recognize input
updatecontrols();
}

//switch maps
map("mymap.map");
}

I'll close your <b> and <i> tag for you. Also:

Maybe, some sort of digitized evil form of cookie that makes "[edit as admin]" appear under my reply menu...?

Actually, might I suggest you pull apart Crefts HOV entry? I found it to be most instructive in remembering how to get started.

Oh, Sully's great, don't get me wrong - but if you're wanting to put your OWN game together, rather than use the v1 emulation library... or if you're just trying to get a very very basic stub v3 stub up and running...

Seriously, look at the code from Sully from the point of view of a newbie, and they'll go running screaming. There's a lot of things going on that are difficult to grasp.

Sully is what I usually look at for inspriration when I'm trying to do something a bit more complicated than simply put an entity on screen and pop up a textbox.
