There had already been an attempt in 2023 https://www.lemon64.com/game/the-secret-of-monkey-island

Based on reviews, it was a bad conversion


> Unofficial conversion of the 1990 PC/Amiga game by Lucasfilm, developed using the D42 Adventure System from Out of Order Softworks.

D42 is a system for making text adventures, not graphics adventures, so I wouldn't be surprised if the conversion ended up sub par.

This is a masterpiece


Thank you :-)

I am tempted to add additional OS / dialers.


Is there any opensource engine that modernizes the game?


Contact, recommended movie to watch! (For me much better than Interstellar)


Way, waaay better than Interstellar. That's a low bar actually. Interstellar was visually stunning, but absolute crap otherwise.


I liked contact and I liked interstellar.


The book is far better. They completely removed the "artist signature" from the movie.


I think both are fine, actually. The movie definitely departed from the book, especially near the end.


Three Body Problem as well for detecting signal.

Pluribus as well


Also “Three Body” is the Chinese version of this, which is more in-depth.


For your kids, “Elio” is basically “Contact” for kids. It didn’t get fantastic reviews, but I suspect it appeals to the HN crowd more.


I've used gnome for 7 years in Fedora. Often certain extensions stopped working betweenv after Fedora big upgrades (i.e. from 32 to 33). The JavaScript engine that runs extensions had many memory leaks bugs so I had to kill the gnome-shell process on a TTY session.

After 7 years I was fed up and switched to KDE and never looked back


The problem is that it's still using unsupported qt4 libraries


I used Fedora GNOME for 7 years and I didn't like the experience, so I migrated to KDE Neon from two years and never looked back again.


Is there an ide with form designer like visual basic?


Not with FreeBASIC.

Others that do: Gambas, Xojo, RAD BASIC, Twin BASIC.


I think FBEdit was the closest to that, but like with most other languages, it never reached the same level of integration and quality because forms are simply not first-class citizens in FreeBASIC, unlike VB where the whole development process evoled around forms. You always need native GUI code or use a GUI library like GTK to achieve the same in FreeBASIC.


Not free, but this was one of my favorite things when learning to program. https://everybasic.info/lib/exe/fetch.php/basics/vbdos-3.png Visual Basic for DOS.


It seems not really "Free"


The former maintainer published a video summary every month on YouTube about SerenityOS progress. And now it seems that anyone does it
