This isn't exactly a FB project. Yet. What this is is a qbasic program that I stopped working on approximately 2 years ago. The exe works fine for me on windows 2k (it doesn't use EMS or XMS). What I was wondering is if you guys think I should port this to FB? It would be a bit of work, because I was pretty green when I coded this (I.E. seperate arrays for each sprite, no usage of bload/bsave, no video pages, no external libraries...etc...). So if any of you feel like it, just download and tell me what you think of it.
Download SmallWar
edit: note that there was an FPS limiter, my code isn't that horribly optimized.
edit 2: oh yeah, and don't tell me about the bugs...I know all about the bugs 8)

Wow thanks a lot. I always loved this game but I never knew if it was because I had made it or because it was good, thanks for the inspiration+compliment.

Actually i dont even think it needs to be rewrote in fb because the slowness of the game makes it feel more arcadeish. i think its good as it is but of course its always fun to be occupied with sumtin like that

well its not complete, so porting would also be finishing it. I can also make it feel just as slow in fb so that it feels like the same game.
