Now 2.1 has been released am I correct in reading that Phrogram is now a fully commercial product, there is no free version, no encouragement for kids to learn to program for free.  If so, shame.

Is Phrogram compatible with Linux? If not will the guys on the development team please make a Linux-compatible version? I am wondering because my home network will likely be Linux-ized somtime in the near future. Thanks,  

Happy New Year Everyone!Along with this exiting New Year, I would like to post some more suggestions as to how we, as a community, and the Phrogram Company, as a company, can broaden the wonderful world that is Phrogram. First, I will introduce you to LEGO and their line of robotics.  LEGO is a very popular, as well as extremely fun, ...

Good point about multiple interaction points.  I was thinking that the function could return the point that caused it to return a TRUE status.  I thought about the multiple sprite idea but thought it might be too complicated to manage when the car rotates.  I'll take a look at the space junk game again and see how you dealt ...

What we really need is a sprite.Intersects() variant that returns either the actual point where the intersection occurs or the offset into the sprite of the intersection point.  The collision detection feature is very nice, but if you need to know exactly where the sprite hit its difficult.  For example, in a road racing game you might ...

Boy, a wealth of information from a simple question! I appreciate your concerns Walt, but I think that this is a strength that Phrogram offers over most other languages.  The simplicity is what attracted me in the first place since I was looking for a language/tool I could use to introduce my boys (11 & 14) to that didn't require a ...

I'm an old C/C++ programmer so I apologize in advance if this questions is common knowledge to all the Visual Basic developers out there... I've gotten tripped up a few times when a variable was passed to a function/method by reference rather than by value. I've noticed that simple variables (integer, decimal, etc.) seem to be passed ...

An option to automatically create a backup copy of the program file either before saving or after a specified time period would be helpful to catch silly mistakes.

If we can't create new DLLs then we at least need the ability to "include" other files to avoid having to cut/paste common code/subsystems we want to reuse.

Glad to hear I've done something "interesting"! I looked/tried the test program and it's essentially what I've done.  The problem is that you don't see the "writeline" statements until you toggle back to change the values again.  If you write to the console as you're updating the sprite you ...
