Scanline I've been a long time hobbyist/tinker-er, and occasionally active on the GameDev threads helping out and asking questions. A few months ago I purchased an iPhone without any intention of programming for it, but the platform seemed so immediately...

Easier way for sprite placement Graph paper may help, or a simple graphics program. For pong some simple math works too.

iPhone programming resources I finally got used to the syntax of Objective-C after a few weeks of using it. Xcode I still haven't gotten used to. I've found it a bit ironic that where MS is criticized for their OS but has pretty robust development tools, Apple has what's usually...

iPhone programming resources Are you certain they make 'iphone games' and not just browser based games using java that happen to be sized correctly to run on the iphone?

Can I determine if my router is using NAT? The issue is there's really no 'reasonable' approach to this, and it's why client-server models are generally favored to peer-to-peer. When a group of computers is sharing an IP address you have to configure your router very specifically to allow it.

Building rooms See maybe this is an issue with me not playing the latest one? I'm not sure. I don't recall in The Sims the game actually doing anything when you finished a room. What is it you want to 'do', determining the tiles in a room (or not in a room) is...

Building rooms The starting point would depend on what you were doing which is something I've suggested you give us an example of quite a few times now. It could be the tile the mouse is over or any number of other things.

Building rooms I'd still like to see an example of a problem you're trying to solve as I still suspect you're going about it backwards. Either way don't use A* as you're not pathfinding, and you said you're picking a tile 'next to' the end point and pathfinding...

Guess that programming language! A lot of high-level modern languages provide (sometimes quite extensive) libraries for you to use. C#/VB.NET both use the .NET framework, Java has it's own libraries, as do C languages. Regarding BASIC are you sure you know what you're asking? Are...

How to make a train turn correctly Perhaps part of your conceptualization difficulties are coming from the fact that a train and a 'segmented bus' would behave differently in regards to steering. The track information (possibly a spline as previously mentioned) would help determine wh...
