Problems with compilers
Tomaaz:
While, PulsarLua works rather nice, Pulsar is quite unusable with FreeBASIC and FreePascal. FreeBASIC version seems to be unable to open graphics in format other than BPM. Under Linux, FreePascal complains about missing X module that is required by one of the FreePascal SDL headers (tested on Sparky Linux based on Debian testing).
Cybermonkey:
Sorry, but this I can not confirm.
For example the Particlesdemo uses PNG-Files which works without any problems here.
About which X module is FreePascal complaining? You should install the apropriate development library.
Since you said that PulsarLua works and PulsarLua is actually compiled with FreePascal, so you should be able to compile yourself Pulsar2D examples if all dependencies are installed ...
(I am using Kubuntu and Ubuntu MATE which are also based on Debian, so there should be all dependencies available.)

When I try to run this example compiled with FreeBASIC on Win 10, I get a SDL_LoadBMP error. It works with BMP files.

Of course, but I need to know what dependencies I need to have installed.

I'm pretty sure they are, but I don't think that "chasing dependencies" situation should take place in case of something like Pulsar. BTW I was wrong. PulsarLua also doesn't work on my distro. There are errors about GL something and division by zero.
Forget Linux. I'm more surprised with this FreeBASIC on Windows situation.

Hm, it also works on my Windows 10, so I can't tell what the problem ist. Maybe one or more DLLs are missing? (Sounds like SDL2_image dependency). I will soon upload all needed DLLs in one ZIP file, so you can try that.
