I Offer my Tutoring to the Absolute Beginner in Programming - i can help you set up a FreeBASIC (or GW-Basic [PC-Basic]) Development Environment on your computer [win/linux] with a IDE of your Choice and help you on your new way in FreeBASIC / GW-Basic

i can try to teach you a bit what i know about "what a computer program is made of" and how to solve problems (algorithmic thinking) when trying to design and code your programs

if you desire to do different programs then what i know I'm ready to study the subject with you and help you achieve your goals...

Hi Ron77 I have looked at free basic and it does look very nice. The thing is for me is it good for commercial use. Is it as good as AGK S. ? I believe it's fast which is always good. Is it good for games ?  I've seen some 3D addons for it which is good.

Hi Baggey if I move on now it would probably be freeBasic if it is compatible with me. The other positive is it's  still being serviced  and will be for the forceable future. it has 3D as an addon 
so it's all there. I was looking at LibSGD and Raylib however both do not support shadows so 
that is a dealbreaker for me. I'm gonna check freebasic now to see if it does.

You can use it for commercial use, but it's what I would call a licence nightmare with GPL/LGPL modules. Just like I the Delphi clone Lazarus, wouldn't use it with production code. Plus it only works on a small number of platforms.

Yes I think you are right, and I'm going to continue forward with AGK S . The documentation when coding is not that good it shows the list of keywords but not much else.
