Thanks RK - didn't know about that game. But, I almost never use the Task Pane - so its no wonder. And, Minesweeper is a classic game that I have just again started playing recently
Thanks again!

Minesweeper in VFP code is built into the Task Pane Manager. I believe Calvin Hsia wrote it just to have some programming fun.

So - I was thinking to myself this morning about how FoxPro had a built-in game many years ago. Don't remember if it was FoxPro 1.0 or FP for Windows 1.0 that had the game. The one with #'s on titles - that are scrambled - and you had to put them in order. Figured I would do some Google searches. And, based upon what I found - it reminded me of a couple games I tried to do in the past. I actually managed to make a somewhat functional Brick-out game a couple of years ago. I even tried doing a Space Invaders type game - but, don't think I got very far! {I got MUCH Farther along in doing Space Invaders as a final project in my Sr. year of high school - in my very 1st programming class in 1980. Although - sadly - I never finished the game nor made it fully functional}
Anyway - on this webpage you can find a nice game of Snake & Tetris: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~CategoryGames
Although - even more exotic is this Arkanoid type game - with an Amazing interface considering its FoxPro! https://www.universalthread.com/ShowHeaderDownloadOneItem.aspx?ID=28563
Have fun & TGIF!!
