Do you learn C by reading the source code for doom?  No.  Look at some simple
programs first...I'm not sure which.  You should try some of the sample
programs in the docs, converting the lib calls to fargo II style of course.
Then try modifying them.  Or try to write a few simple programs yourself.
Many people get into trouble when they start off learning a language by trying
to make a big game in it.  You need to get experience before you do that, or
you will just write bad, slow code for the game and it won't work.  Start
small, work up.  Sprite routines and games aren't small, it's much easier to
learn from example programs in the guide, etc.
