blitz-basic-games

These are some games I wrote in 2002 or earlier in Blitz Basic.

Each folder holds a different game.

How to run

The .bb source files can be executed in the Blitz Basic IDE, if you have it. I believe this is still a commercial application and it's not inclued here.

Each folder also has a .exe file which might work. However, these were created in 2002 or earlier. They may not work well with Windows 10. I've not yet tried this myself as I rarely use Windows.

I have found the .exe files run using Wine on Linux but I needed to set "Emulate a virtual desktop" in Wine Config to get the screen to display. Some of the games use midi file playback for music but this did not work under Wine.

How to quit

If you do manage to run a game and want to quit, then pressing the Escape key should work. In the case of The Sprouter Limits it's necessary to hold the escape key for several seconds.
