Not Free software or open source...

Hi solarconflict,
so yeah, charlie tells you that this forum is all about open source games. So if you feel like releasing the source, please do and also pick a license to go with it.

If you don't feel like releasing the source, I'd like to direct you to this link list! (also I'll remove the thread since it's off topic here)

PS: I quite have the feeling that I've seen your project before..... [edit] ah, here: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=185

PPS: it runs in dosbox, but extreeeeeeeeemely laggy

The can game runs on XP without dosbox but not on Vista or Win 7.
I will publish the code soon, it is in Borland Pascal and I will be happy if someone will help me port it to free pascal, or any other modern compiler so it can run on win 7 without dosbox.

Please upload the source code to somewhere like Google Code or Sourceforge.

Until then we'll move this to off topic.

Have you published the code yet?
