We had a MadFox attendee come ONE TIME and show us his recreation of an RPG done in VFP. It was an impressive start but we wondered why he was doing it in VFP instead of a more suitable language. We never saw him again. I sometimes wonder whatever happened to him or that project...

Wow - that Visual Basic thing is crazy. It looks like a environment running on like Windows 3.1 type UI. Or, am I wrong - and it's supposed to be a graphical app running in DOS? I never really did the Visual Basic thing - but, I DID Indeed start way back using BASIC on an Apple II, and then on the original PC-XT machines.
As for that Doom thing - that's just NUTS! I had no idea that PDF files have THAT much interactive capabilities. That being said, is it just me - or does that Doom PDF thing only show a kind of pixelated B&W interface with NO Colors???
Kinda reminds of when I did a basic recreation of the Brick Out game using Visual FoxPro - circa 2011...

That's impressive, in the way that playing Doom on an electric toothbrush is impressive.
