> How to translate from the concept in your mind to a working program.

I didn't get the impression that is what Andy was complaining about, after 
all he says he can program in Java, so converting from concept to C 
shouldn't be very different from converting from concept to Java.  I assume 
he can also program POV SDL, and has dabbled in BASIC etc.

If you'd only ever programmed in Haskell or some other functional language, 
then sure I can see how you might have a hard time writing some C even if 
you knew all the commands and syntax.

Sure, teach me all the words you use and any grammar rules and it shouldn't 
be too hard.
