Good advice. Also, always skip every other windows-version. I wonder how that will work when they start with this "Windows as a service" thing... No, I think I stay with windows 7 for a while still.

People still run those things as servers? :-)

No, you need admin access for that. Just can't restore without ssh access to the server.

I am doing backups by hand when I have the time. I still have one from 2015-05-17 if that is interesting. If you give me login details I can fix up the backup scripts too.

Gernot, your email is still not working, anywhere else I can send the backup?

Oh, the memory-function for last attack is nice! Maybe reset the last attack if you change pet so it doesn't try to attack with a second attack the new pet haven't learned yet.

No, there is nothing wrong with digging up old threads. All posts have a date on them.

If you want to interrupt the calculation you need to keep checking GETTIMERALL() in your calculation loop to see if it is time to check for touches. Every time the user touches the screen you need to restart your draw anyway. It's hard to use threads in GLBasic without crashing so for the users sake, just run in one thread and avoid crashes. :-)

There are a few word wrap functions around the forum, just search for "word wrap" (Just make sure you go back to the start-page of the forum before you search).

Explanation for #3:
3. Load/quit/get back to menu - button in game so you don't have to press the X.
- There is no load button in the menu, only save. If you get stuck and want to load the game again you have to shut down and restart the game.

The game looks very good so far!

The family Pokemon enthusiast is very happy with it so far, she just had a few things:

1. Would be nice if it would remember the last battle action and keep this selected so you don't have to start from the top of the menu each time. If not this, maybe able to sort the buttons yourself.

2. Line break in dialogues would be nice if they would break on space, not in the middle of a word.

3. Load/quit/get back to menu - button in game so you don't have to press the X.

4. When having a high-level pet active she wasn't getting any encounters any more. When switching back to a lower level pet she got encounters again. Might have been bad luck?

If it is some background process that has no grafical output you can just compile it as a console program. See the checkbox in the project options. Ofcourse there are some limits on what commands you can use for console programs so this only works if it's some background process that does not display anything except for text.

Might be nice to know what filehoster to avoid in the future... Which one was it?

Gameplay (-) and graphics (+) has been the main direction since the c64. Nothing new there.

Someone said something about wrong color format earlier so I'm hoping it will be easy to fix. Myself I have no clue where to start.

Are the colors working properly on the Rpi 2?

Raspberry pi is already selling like nothing else so no need to worry about that.
They sold 4.5 million so far of the older models. They still sell 200 000 per month. 100 000 was ready for sale on the release day for the version 2.

Even a windows fanatic friend of mine bought one when the first rapsberry pi's started showing up :-)

I was just sitting and reading an article about rpi2 when I saw the new-post-email about this topic. Yes I would love to know how this works out for you.
