It's hard at the first time but if you follow the tutorials you should able to make your own sci game.

After all,I made "another DG game: I want my c64 back".

SCI seems like a bit of a bitch at first (opening/closing brackets etc.), but once you get the hang of it, it is quite easy. Do the tutorial, it makes things MUCH clearer.

Like any programmer, a new language can be tricky at first. However, once you're experienced, it is easy. Anything is easy once you know how to do it.

Assembly language (machine code), for example, is the most difficult language to learn, but everyone who is experienced with it, would say it's easy (for them at least). I definitely think so, and I'm sure DF, Nick and Lars would agree. Assembly language is no more difficult for me than anything else, it just is more time consuming ;)

I taught a bud SCI after teaching him Java (his first language), and as a newbee programmer, he thought SCI was easier because of the brackets. There wasn't a need to worry about () and {}. It's as simple as every '(' needs a ')'.
