I’m not about to share the source code.
The front end GUI code was written in RapidQ, which itself was an incomplete prototype programming language by William Yu, released unfinished and buggy in August 2000.
It only had a relatively small following under Yahoo Groups before that got shut down, where some really talented hackers managed to patch the language to fix memory leaks and find workarounds to practically all the bugs.
And that, my fellow Lemming, is the main reason I won’t be sharing the source code. You’d look at some areas of the code and wonder what the fuck, unless you were very familiar with RapidQ and it’s quirks.
Why did I pick RapidQ? Because it was free, and the project has its earliest roots in QuickBasic from back in 2009, so it was easier for me to migrate to RapidQ when I got ready to delve into Windows programming.
The backend code is written in FreeBasic, which actually is portable between Windows and Linux, but the code looks like QuickBasic and C made love and had a baby.
To my knowledge, there’s only about a dozen people that even half understand how the program works, as it’s rather abstract compared to other graphics software.
