That's some surprisingly short and sweet code. I'd love to see a video of it in action.
Comment on: Language of choice?

Comment on: C: An introduction for the high-level programmer
C was my first language and I rarely regret learning it first instead of a higher level language. It allowed me to understand things much clearer later on and when I moved to other languages (C#, Java, etc).
I'm not sure I would suggest doing the same for everyone, but in my case I think it was worth the headaches.
