This forum has a lot of lurkers. Not just the G-site, the Russian one and M$'s one. Those three are usually my companions if I'm the only one logged in early morning hours of Eastern Standard Time. Github also has a lot of lurkers. IJS.
The majority is that if it's freeware, there's no need to respond to the creator. But if it was payware and one pays one penny or more then 20 years could pass they're banging the table for support... crazy mad wacky world the Internet.
I had forgotten to mention I also created a game in Freebasic which is like "Snake" (or one-player "Nibbles"), which comes with 40 levels and the last ten are made even harder by something, and a few other gimmicks I'm not going to reveal here! It doesn't come with a program to design new levels but it's easy to export to BMP if the user knows the dimensions and other things about the game board.
I had created those games while I was off Internet for many years.
