Exonergy
A downloadable game for Windows
Story:
You are a lonley robot living on a man made planet. The source of your energy are the spinning gears on the towers.
After a devastating binary storm that towers got dameged. To ensure your survival, you have to repair them by throwing all 32 gears on the top of the towers. But be careful: Any step costs energy. The only extra source available is the Byte-rain. But those values are signed! Catching the wrong raindrop can cost a lot of power!
Maybe helpful (Rain values):
First number = 0...7: You gain energy.
First number = 8...F: You lose energy
The Executable is for Windows but the code should be compileable on any OS which can run PureBasic (5.70 LTS used for this project).

Hello, your game looks nice and interesting!
Sometimes I am curious about PureBasic's potential for game development because PureBasic does not look like a game language. Anyway, I see some discussions about game development in PureBasic here.

Moreover, I found this webpage. The developer also uses PureBasic for the games.

Hello,
in general PureBasic has some advantages for making games since it comes with all necessary functions to handle inputs and display the content. This makes it easy to get results quickly.
But there are also problems. It looks like using the Debugger leads to false positives on Antivirus software. (I had Kaspersky and Avira and both fought it).
Thanks for telling me these. Thanks a lot!
It's pretty good overall but recovered as many gears and tedious. In addition, the robot's movements are a bit slow.
Otherwise, I noticed that the collision could stop lowering the time bar. I don't know if it's wanted.
And then, the gear may get stuck in the air. Or sometimes the position on a tower is not in the right place.
The slow movements could be caused by an compatibility issue. On the PC I used to program this game (Win7) it is running fast. Later I tryed it on an other computer (Win10) and it was incredibly slow... I have no idea how to fix this except using an other programming language.
The other bugs are new to me. Thanks for the feedback.
