   Looking For Help
  Hello All, I am looking for someone who will help guide me through making a game.  I'm DEFINTELY NOT looking for someone to do my work for me and I'm not looking to take up to much of your time.  Basically I want a mentor to review my work and guide me into other steps.  I'd rather have somebody who knows my project helping me out, as opposed to posting individual questions.  If all goes well, I'd like to use our conversation and game progress as a tutorial for others (A step by step guide for programmers looking to get into game development).  If anybody is still interested here are some details :About the Programming Language:I'd like to use programming language that is .NET along with DirectX9. I know a litte C++, little more C#, and a good amount of VB. I have access to books in all these. And am willing to invest a lot of time to learn either.  It has always been a goal of mine to get into game development.About the Project:I want to develop a billards game with cartoon like graphics (cell-shaded is what I had in mind).  I realize this project will encompass a lot.  But I don't mind taking it one step at a time. This is a little about me:  I am 23 and it was my love of gaming that drove me to programming.  I have been into programming since I was 15.  I started out learning C++ but got involed, with my dad, building business application and VB was much more suited for that.  I have been doing programming professionally for almost 5 years now and currently I am working for a small company in Califoria as 'IT Manager' developing new business systems and maintaining the computer network/computers here.  I am ambitious, a hard worker and eager learner.  I am willingly to invest at least 2 hours a workday/10-12 hours on the weekend into this project.  I spend a lot of free time reading/writing code anyway. And or course I spend a lot of time on the pool table.If anybody wants to take the time to be my mentor I'd greatly appreciate it.Anybody else want to contribute information to me I'd like that as well.
