Wetspot 2

[John]

I have been looking for game that would be a good target for our BASIC translator efforts. I have attached the QB45 and gcc source version. I was happy to see it working on my Ubuntu 64 bit system with full sound. (SDL based) This game could also be a good example for others wanting to port old QuickBASIC code to other platforms besides Windows. Attached is a couple screenshots from it running on my native compiled copy of DOSBox. I added the Ubuntu 64 compiled version as an attachment.





Compile with gcc on Ubuntu 64 bit

I have attached the wetspot2.c as a PDF (with syntax coloring)

I converted the QB45 code to text programs for those that don't have a DOSBox & QB45 handy. (see attached)

Thanks John, good idea about using a game to bring perhaps more people into it. I think something like this gives a target to focus on so great idea!
