What would learning these programming codes permit me to do? And how would I best go about learning them? Bear in mind this is to be a "for fun" project, but one I am willing to devote some time into making good (hence it will probably take me forever and 20 years to complete, what with university and all). Bottom line is I'm willing to go through some trouble to make it good, but I don't have all the time in the world to tinker with it, it'd be more of an "in my spare time" thing.
