Free Fire Generating Program

[Velatus]

Hello everybody.
I'm a french student in architecture, and a spare-time FreeBASIC programmer. I've been playing BFW for a couple of years now, and I have to say that it is definitely one of my all-time favorite games, if not my favorite. So I figured I might give something back to the community.
I'm working on a game engine, which features a real-time fire effect. I thought it would be cool to write a separate program with just the fire effect in it, with which one could basically be able to generate a fire loop with a custom palette, transparency etc., and incorporate later on in his sprites.
The program itself is not yet complete, for I only started to write it like yesterday evening. You cannot interact with it yet, but it does generate a fire animation.
Here is a screenshot: http://www.mediafire.com/file/w2zdtizzowz/Capture.png
And here is the program itself: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2yyimqyrcee/fire.exe
It's a Windows .exe, but it works fine (if not better) on Linux through Wine (Ubuntu 9.10). Hit "Q" to exit it, cause "Esc" just won't work.
I'll soon post a newer version of the program as soon as possible. Feel free to comment.

Hi, wow your a frenchie? cool . Anyway, I was wondering if it would be difficult to make your program mac-friendly software ? I use a mac and so do many others and it would be opportune if this would work on a mac. Let me know if its a possibility. Keep up the good work!

[Velatus]

Thanks.
Well, thing is the programming language I use has not be ported to Mac OS, and probably never will be . I think I could write a mac version, though, in any BASIC-like mac language. I'll check the internet.

Thank you. If it turns out to be way to much trouble, you don't really have to, it would just be very convenient. There are many programs out there that only work on windows, so having the opportunity to ask you if you could make it work for mac, I did ask you. I really appreciate you trying whether it works out or not

[Velatus]

By the way I checked the net. here seems to be a basic dialect which works for windows, linux AND mac. I'll download it and give it a try.

[King_Elendil]

Oh cool Thank you so much!

[Velatus]

You're welcome. I just want to help the community.

[King_Elendil]

I hope that I will be able to as well

Hello again, I found one of your old threads, and was wondering if your BfW-type game is done and available for download? If it were I would love to try it out!

Darwine is available…

Hello King_Elendil.
Well my game is not finished yet. Since it's a one-man project, development is reeeeaaaaaaally sloooooow. Still there are a couple of executables available (windows only, sorry), somewhere on the FreeBASIC forum. Nothing too fancy though: just a dumb map you can scroll. It's also been through quite a big rewrite lately, so there's not much to show. Anyway, if you're interested in it, I'll keep you posted.

Cool, thanks. I know a little about WML but not enough to really do anything more than a simple unit so it's inspiring to see someone like you writing these programs. Again if it's to much trouble you don't have to do anything for me I was just curious .
