FB used to be great and have a fun and active community, but it has become a convoluted POS, compared to what it once was. Personal opinion, only. Most love the changes.
But, I would still be using PowerBASIC if it wasn't for the lack of built in DP*snip*

Never got it, but kinda like the look of Logitech's offering in the handhelds.
The Steam handheld always seemed off in some ways to me. SteamOS on a ROGAlly could be really nice. My steam games are all of MDickies, some 2D games and some retro 3D g*snip*

RapidQ was great. Unfortunately William Yu sold the code to REALbasic, IIRC. In its day, RapidQ was amazing.

Wow, Gambas is a blast from the past. Did not know it was still going on. Hoping it compiles to an executable now? In the past you needed the IDE to programs, IIRC.

As for Syntax Bomb closing. Keep in mind this is not the first time. I forget why it closed before, but IIRC it was closed for a year or two (or was it more) and only brought back when the official Blitz communi*snip*

NES Maker allows you to create a game not using code, but you can dig into the code if you want to be more advanced. Knew several people on TwiX using it, and there are a lot of games on Itch.io using it.

I generally do not buy these kinds of books to learn a language, more to learn how to do a type of game. The Huw books each present a slightly different ''features'' version of his text game engine. By getting all three, you get an extremely well-r*snip*

Will be interesting to see how it plays out, but TBH I love my Orange Pi 800. Definitely has the nostalgia feel and once my studio is done, it may be all I use here in the bedroom.

I have a brand new, Palm Pilot m130 that I only ever used to test the color version of a game I wrote in PocketC.
Also have a Psion series 3a in pristine shape. The Psion had an amazing golf game for it, that could never be registered due to the author *snip*

For me, as much as I love Fred & PB, I do not like the 3D side of it -- too complex for me. DB & B3D were perfect for my mediocre 3D needs and simple enough I could wrap my head around them.
