I'm thinking about making "What should the PureBasic team focus on?" a multiple-choice question, because why not?!

[X] game development functions (game engines, better or more graphics and sound)

I'm just astonished about the different discussions in the forum. Some want PB to get Open Source, others want to drop Linux support. Some others complaining about a game-development focus in the last updates and others about missing quality etc. I thought it would be a great idea to simply ask the users to get a objective view. And best way is a poll in the forum (I thought).

I'm shure that I do not need to present those answers to the PB team. They are reading the forum, too. I hope, that the poll is a good thing for the PB team. You are true in your statement that it is all on Fred's decision. But maybe he finds it interesting, what people want. As he, again, is living from PB licences, he may be interested in growing the number of satisfied users. The more professional users PB will have, the more PB will be spread. This is the reason for my question about the programming intention.

Let's have a look, if this poll is a good sthing or if it is getting ignored.

PS. I also would suggest Fred to offer some additional "professional" features as a priced products. For example a cross-plattform GUI builder or a "professional" edition of the IDE which offers refactoring and CVS/GIT integration. Also, there could be some payed "professional" support offer. But as said, it's all in Fred's decision...
