Hi,  long time no see! I read a post on this page:

"Ooh, thank you! That makes sense, but I have little experience with Windows 7, and no way to test myself, so it's very useful to know."

Perhaps you only use Linux to develop games? If this is true, I want to tell you the good news: Linux entries will be accepted in the 4th BASIC Jam. Please read this:

You are very welcome to join. Good luck!

Thank you for the invitation!

Hello, sorry to bother you. Your website is excellent! No doubt.  For example, a lot of useful articles about game tools are on this webpage:  https://notimetoplay.org/engines/index.html

I like the above webpage very much. Thanks! I have read the article about the classic dialect BBC BASIC. In fact, there is a new software called AOZ Studio. AOZ BASIC is the modern version of another two classic dialects STOS BASIC and AMOS BASIC. I never use these two languages but they should be so well-known.

The following introduction makes AOZ BASIC look so attractive and interesting: https://retrogamecoders.com/aoz-studio-tutorial/

I don't know whether you will write a review about AOZ Studio. However, I look forward to your review about AOZ Studio. Perhaps this review will be very useful for many BASIC hobbyists.

( The personal version is here: https://download.aoz.studio/ )

No offense, but this is starting to look like spam. There are better ways to contact me, you know.

Hello, since this game was made with SDLBasic, I have a question. 

I see  a very interesting discussion. Can you write a similar program in SDLBasic for comparison of the three programming languages? Thanks a lot! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone can come up with a suitable benchmark, sure, but I'm not aware of any. The OP points at another forum thread that highlights the issues involved in making one. Maybe porting a game like Laser Sky Zero or Attack Vector: Cybersphere to other languages could give an idea. One is sprite-based, the other uses vector graphics, so they exercise different aspects. Also, each exercises the raw speed of Basic interpretation in different ways.

Game won't start.  I have Window 7 64

Damn. Can you please try to run it from a command prompt and see if there's an error message?

A command prompt?  Is this a DOS game?

No, it's a graphical game for the desktop, but if you start it from a command prompt, you'll be able to see if it complains about something in particular, because that's where error messages normally go.

I already uninstalled it since it didn't work.

Sorry to hear that. I'd offer a refund, but you have to e-mail support for that.
