Could somebody answer this question for me when I compile a Windows program what sort of code does it produce and is it an .exe file. Will it run as fast as a compiled blitz3d program. Thanks.
It produces a .exe on Windows. AGK2 can be used in two different tiers. Tier 1 is the BASIC type language and produces byte code ( interpreted ) but you can also use Tier 2 which is C++ and access AGK2 via that for full speed.

In a nutshell for raw code speed alone then Blit3D would be faster in really heavy logic games. Having said that I've had zero speed issues with AGK2 Tier1 and never came across a situation where native compiled code would make the game run any better. Also AGK2 has a fast 2D and 3D engine with more features than Blitz3D.
Mac Studio M1 Max ( 10 core CPU - 24 core GPU ), 32GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD,
Beelink SER7 Mini Gaming PC, Ryzen 7 7840HS 8-Core 16-Thread 5.1GHz Processor, 32G DDR5 RAM 1T PCIe 4.0 SSD
MSI MEG 342C 34" QD-OLED Monitor

Until the next time.

Yeah, I don't think Tier 1 should be much of an issue for indie games. Unless someone wants to do something extremely CPU-heavy.
Even if you would need something crazy like custom big-maze pathfinding for many enemies coming at you from all directions, it can usually be easily done on the GPU.

Adding to that, in Tier 1 you can use plugins. If i need to use heavy calculations in T1, i would create a plugin for it.

So does AGK produce a stand alone runnable program or does it need a file to run the program?

Sorry if I appear to be thick but just want to know what it will do before I make a purchase. I do have the trial version but my son is off school for the holidays and likes to spend his time on his dad's computer. Anyway happy new year to you all.

..yes it does..i just compiled some of my test programs on windows and standalone EXE is result..

What sort of file size for the exe are we talking about?
Also, what about file icons?

My current game is 5782k

The default is the App Game Kit Logo, but I'm sure there are ways of changing it.

I use icon changer to change the icon in blitz3d and it should work on any program and it's free. Is my trial version of AGK2 exactly the same as the retail version apart from it saying appgamekit in the bottom right corner. Planning on buying it from steam on Wednesday while it's still on offer for 25 quid apparently it's usually 60 quid .
