Title: ScriptBasic Games
Post by: ScriptBasic on April 17, 2013, 11:48:43 PM

Hello Forum Members,

I don't know if these games (http://www.scriptbasic.org/forum/index.php/topic,275.0.html) qualify as candidates for the Retogamecoding Forum so let me know. The games are written in ScriptBasic using the Simple Window library and the new DLLC (FFI) extension module. If I get approval, I'll post them here.

John

Of course they do. Just a question: Is it possible to do things like that with ScriptBasic for Linux?

This is a Windows only deal. Even though ScriptBasic runs fine on Linux, (32/64 bit) Simple Window and DLLC are both DLL specific interfaces. IUP has some nice graphics features for Win/X that supply some of the functions SW does but the animation / refresh isn't there.

I'll post the games I converted from OxygenBasic to SB if anyone wants to improve on them. Peter is a good programmer but his interests are just getting it working. That may be fine for a compiler like O2 but using an interpreter requires taking a second look and optimizing his work.
