Costa was really good. Wasn't Asgard in last year's?

Yeah, Jacob really deserved it. Asgard was not in last years, just Q-Step and that Screen 13 version. I'm a little depressed, it's the first time I didn't get 2nd place. Oh well, I'm going to start now for next year.

I've been writing ideas down for GUIs like having a way of eliminating title bars and window buttons but use mouse clicks and movements to manipulate the windows instead.

Well yeah I want first but if nothing else this year I wanted to get 2nd place so I'd have gotten it every year.

Hey Brandon, did you ever read the docs for this new version of Costa? [quote] The Costa development started in February, 2004 and I worked on it almost almost every day for a couple of years. Then, I felt the need to move on to other projects. Costa was abandonned, and left untouched for a long, long time. Then, in 2008, I decided to finish what I started. I took the old source code to various versions of Costa, studied it and thought of what was good, and what was bad. I decided to do a complete rewrite, and quickly made a GUI toolkit to allow quick and fairly easy development of programs. Soon after, the desktop was completed. [b]Costa was made using Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS[/b]. I didn't use the forms engine in Visual Basic for MS-DOS, I wrote everything from scratch. Although the code to load the fonts was written by me, the fonts were made by other people. The document README.TXT in the DATAFONTS directory contains more information about this, and gives proper credit to the authors. [/quote] :(

I know that Costa is in VBDOS, and I'm not concerned. If he used the objects, that would be different. Really any BASIC dialect that can compile for DOS can be used.
