steve_ancell	I bought it a while ago, never really got around to using it yet.

dna	I ordered the it as well. Not more than 24 hours to send a link. This company reminds me of the people that made Darkbasic. I cannot find my installer off the software to check --- I ordered the it as well. Not more than 24 hours to send a link. This company reminds me of the people that made Darkbasic.

steve_ancell	I am still waiting for a link. Go to this site and click the order button: www.appgamekit.com/order.php Use voucher code AGK4FREE then apply it, the checkout price will then become Â£0.00. It will then take you through a sign up process. I tried this myself, under another email address as I already bought this over a year ago.

steve_ancell	I forgot to add this bit... Once you have signed up, click the "Basket" button at the top-right of the screen, then follow the instructions. It will still ask for a payment method, just select "PayPal", it will will be charged at Â£0.00. \|edit\| The email address I used isn't even linked to PayPal and it still worked. \|edit\|

Krakatomato	My order was approved this morning around 10:30am.

steve_ancell	I just went into my account, it has been approved too.

Krakatomato	Just noticed - this is for the AGK V1. It seems to be lacking in certain areas (such as no blend mode control, no shaders for 2D). Theses will be included in V2, which I presume will be an additional cost. Does look to be a nice enough tool/language - and having the ability to do native coding with it is a big plus. But looking through the documentation, deploying to things like Android looks to be a royal pain in the proverbial.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Krakatomato Theses will be included in V2, which I presume will be an additional cost. Yes V2 is a completely separate product so you will have to pay for that.

Hotshot	V2 is like 3D add on I guess as I might be wrong

steve_ancell	V2 is like 3D add on I guess as I might be wrong Nope!, V2 is a completely new product, I remember TGC announcing it on their facebook group.

steve_ancell	V2 may not be officially out yet but the earlybird backers already have access to it.

Hotshot	They got to be careful thought as having too many commands(LA LA Darkbasic pro) does put people off and I hope they try make compact on commands as user need IF I was making own programming language then I would say 100 commands or less would be enough! You know what....I think Assembler used about 50 commands or less as I might be wrong saying that

dna	I was out on a movie set for a day, came back and mine was approved as well. There are a dozen or more links including one for Pascal. I do not see the BASIC programming language. It may be installed with AGK V108.21 -=-=- DNA

dna	I'm surprised that this TGC beat out Fred at Purebasic to the app level. -=-=- DNA

dna	Some of the downloads are not going to come through the firewall that was placed up recently. I'll have to go elsewhere for them. This website is not classified as a game site for some reason, which is good but, TGC still maintains its game classification. Good for Jay -=-=- DNA

dna	Due to the new firewall that was put into place, my usual Interneet access point slowed to a crawl. I just now finished the download for AppGameKitfiles10821. I hope its complete and the only one I need for Windows. -=-=- DNA

dna	787 MB of file space from that little 165M download. It does include basic. Quite a good little space sprite tutorial. Side scroller. --- 787 MB of file space from that little 165M download. It does include basic. Quite a good little space sprite tutorial. Side scroller. -=-=- DNA

dna	The Appkit even has a game in it for use. Just change the images and other things as it tells you and the game you make can be sold. -=-=- DNA
