Hi John, Unfortunately, the games we are talking about have no source code, or at least none that is freely available. The games I had in mind were old Dos games like Elite that was really big back in the80's and early90's, but no longer are compatible with newer computers. I was rather hoping of writing them as text based console games along the lines of the original so that they would be accurate clones of the original. That's mainly for nostalgia's sake so wasn't thinking of using something like BGT for development.
Plus the reason I had suggested Python is I am really interested in cross-platform games. As many here know I primarily use Linux, not Windows, so frown whenever anyone develops something exclusively for Windows and can't easily port it to Linux. I imagine Mac users feel much the same way. Therefore rewriting the games in C++ or Python is more ideal than BGT which is as yet a Windows only technology. Cheers!
