Can Jam's game be remade in GFA-BASIC 32?

[yyin]

Hello, I discovered a game of a jam.(A jam means a contest.) It is a game made in another BASIC(Freebasic). I played the game and wow, the main idea of the game is really interesting. GFA-BASIC 32 is a general purpose language actually. My programming knowledge is very limited but I am so curious. There are some game examples in this official forum. However, I still want to ask one question. Is it possible to remake the game in GFA-BASIC 32? I ask because I am quite curious. In fact, I was not able to find too many GFA-BASIC games on Itch.

Making games with GFA-BASIC 32 for Windows is definitely possible. See Scalion's many examples.

Although add-on libraries could make GFA much easier to work with for developing games, I have to say: " At the very least, a better choice of development language/application could output versions for multiple platforms (Smartphones, Apple's iOS and Windows)."

That being said, there is nothing stopping someone from cranking out a game for windows under GFA as a proof of concept, and later on, in another development environment such as 'Unity' and many others.

Okay!

Yeah it's realy easy .

I have an account on Itch I tried to upload "Alchemystopus" I found it super complicated so I gave up. Only programming interests me. But if you're more comfortable than me with their interface don't hesitate to distribute my games, they're all free.

Regarding this very cute "unicorn" game, it's really easy to program, if you want I can create a mini game for you that you can customize with your own sprites and sounds. You can always modify the program to improve it, are you interested?

You are a genius.

After reading your post, I tried to search on Itch. Finally, I found this!!!!!

If I have time, I will try to look into this. In my opinion, if other indie developers see your games, they may join this forum and use GFABasic.

You are so good at game programming. By the way, a simple game won the contest because of a great idea!

Thanks. If you really have time, please make a simple game which is similar to the unicorn game.

This is a look at some games for the ATARI ST/E written in GFA-BASIC that look simple but some were very popular.

Will you try to develop a creative game in GFA Basic??

I don't plan on developing games.
It may happen by chance.
I am presently working on a billiard playing robot based on the LEGO MINDSTORMS.

I see. Actually, I notice that you always have good ideas. You are able to make fascinating games! Your games may lead a lot of newcomers to try to learn GFA BASIC.
