Comment Re:BASIC is an awful language (Score 1) 783

I learned on AppleSoft BASIC, which had 'gosub' as well as 'goto', and we were encouraged to use the former instead of the latter and build our programs as modular as possible. Still had line numbers, variables were all global (and only the first 2 letters were relevant) so you had to be careful, but I was able to write a lot with it - a BBS for example. If a program became too big, I'd break it up and pass data between the sub-apps with a text file. This was the mid-80's.

Comment Re:Ubuntu users have more problems (Score 1) 382

My Vaio laptop has 3 OSes - Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, and a fsck'd OS X install. I regularly switch between Ubuntu and OpenSUSE - KDE 4 is still a bit wonky for me, but I've followed it and I'm hopeful. Ubuntu gives me grief with regards to my wireless, but other than that I like it, and would recommend it on the desktop.

LGP News

Wed, June 23 2010
Is grateful to Slashdot for finally noticing that LGP exists, after militantly ignoring any game release we have made for the last 5 years, as soon as reports of our death come through, we get a front page story. Slashdot - Your support of Linux is inspirational.
For others who wonder, we are very much alive. We have had a couple of staffing issues on the admin side of things, which explains most of our silence, but work is progressing on more than one unannounced title. We will offer further updates as and when there is news to update you with.
