Default addicted to randoms

Good news. My programming-language-of-choice (Yet Another Basic www.yabasic.org) is adding a "binder" which will create stand-alone-programs. So instead of offering my maps as daily randomized offerings on my site (www.dom2minions.com) I may be able to include the executable (windows and linux only at this time Im afraid) to be able to re-randomize it by clicking on it at your end. Probably the first offering (because its the easiest and apparently most desired) would be for random AI opponents.

I can be swayed if people have preferences from my site, or from the 3rd party app wishlist thread, as to what should be done soonest.

You can email me as gandalf at most of my sites. (community.net, dom2minions.com, sdmud.org, techno-mage.com, alt-hacker.org)

You should have switched to Xbasic some times ago. Standalone-exe for Win32 and Linux, full IDE and GUI builder etc ... .
And it's free as well ...

I tried Xbasic. I dont remember why I didnt end up with it. Yabasic is also free. I also tried BWbasic and something like a dozen others. I think one of the plus factors on YABasic is that it came with my Linux OS.
