But, <warm fuzzy voice> we are all here.</> :)
Though, having written the programs you have already provided, you are most
definately a programmer!!
If you are worried about your capabilities to structure your
programs/programming, there are ways to deal with it, like:
- program program program (you are already doing that), the more you do it,
the better you will become.
- read other peoples source code to get a feeling how people solve things
(especially with regards to structure), this is a hard thing to do though
(atleast it is for me).
- read some books/guides about programming
- try to formalize your programming: divide it into design and implementation
phases:
* in the design phase you think mainly about what you want to accomplish,
and how to do it in a bigger picture so you don't have to tear it apart
later when you add more features.
* in the implementation phase you actually do it, when you start this up you
should know what parts are needed.
Big software projects often have even more phases, like a requirement phase
that occurs before the design phase.

I haven't been able to test your programs...yet, but I looked at the screen
shots some days ago and.....well... the screenshots are small, that may be
the reason, but it seems the colors may need to be changed a little ;).

If you go for more band-in-a-box type functionality I promise to do backflips
:)...oh well... in theory anyway ;)...
