Hi All,
I registered ages ago to see what was going on here but have only just got back into coding after many years of my brain wasting away so I thought i'd say something before my account got deleted!
Owned an Atari STe/FM in the 80s/90s and started, as many did, with ST Basic then went onto GFA Basic and did lots of original stuff with STOS and 68000. Cracked, trained, ripped, and modified loads of games back then and now that i've recently got my brain back into gear i've found I can still do the same on my PC.

I've started using Purebasic as I really like the syntax and there are some really good user libraries out for it. I did try Freebasic afterwards but couldn't quite get away with the way it worked. Maybe i'll try again if someone can persuade me it's easied then PB.
So, i've started on my first oldskool demo written in PB and could really do with some tips on some effects i'm trying to duplicate.
