RogueHart Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 pardon my grammar. i dont use capitals, some punctuation, and there will probably be various mispellings. i apologize lol. i worked on the txt game community project. converted it to blitz basic and html. well i got bored so i started working on it again. this time in batch. and i was wondering why it died so quickly? lol. why not bring it back or better yet do the same thing with some other open source program? taking a useful open source program and translating it into different coding languages could not only help that program expand and grow but could also help people learn different languages by comparing the different codes. edit sidenote: if anyone knows where i can get a properly working "choice" command for winxp let me know. the one i have works okay but it doesnt return error levels properly.

Famicoman Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I guess it died quickly because there are only so many languages that people know how to do. Once people knock out major ones, there can only be so many ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 thats what i thought. but why not keep the general idea going by working on other open source programs as a way to keep the community project going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I guess that the project founder either disappeared, or there was lack of interest. Both of these have lead to projects being canned in the past. This text adventure, rainbow tables, analog5, BBS, comic, etc all died because of lack of interest or something went wrong with the founder. If you want to start stuff up, go ahead, just know what you're doing and what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
