Posible Alturnatives I was looking for a way to make a Windows version and I found KBasic. It is still in its early stages but I think this may be a better solution. There are restrictions on how to use the Linux version, basically all apps must be GPL, which FreeEmpires is anyway.

Sorry no sale on my part. Doing this would mean I would have to redo months of work. If I was going to do it in another language I would use C or C++ (Even though I have very little C/C++ knowledge it would be more worth it). If Windows and Mac users want AoE they can buy it from Microsoft. It is also not Free as in Beer for the professional version! GAMBAS is free (In both ways) and more advanced! Sorry I wish to stay with GAMBAS and not make me redo months even years of work for stinking Mac and Windows users!

How about a Java version that could run on Windows, Mac, Linux etc without any modification to the code. We could use Java web start, and all people have to do is go to the website on any Operating System and click "Click here to Play Free Empires with Java Web Start" (requires JRE 1.6)

Sounds like a good concept, but I don't know if Hamish or Graham are willing to change languages. Though a Java version does not mean dumping the GAMBAS and VB 2005 versions.

A Java version might be a good project. Sometime we should try it. After all FreeCol is uses Java so why can't Java be used for an RTS.
