Don''t listen to me. I''ve had too much coffee.

I looked, and it didn''t help

Look again.

Nobody''s going to tell you how to make Elite, because it would be just as much work to make it themselves. How you make Elite is you learn to program, and then you sit down and figure out how to make it yourself.

Don''t listen to me. I''ve had too much coffee.

the Game I want to make a variation of is Here

Search on the Internet for html tutorials, they will teach you how to program games. Stay away from variables though, they''re bad and someone told me hackers use them to get your hyperlinks.
