And even if he doesn't, GZDoom will move on and the exe for his mod. So in a year or so, if I were to dig this file out and feel like giving it another whirl, I'd be playing with an exe that felt very old because GZDoom would (presumably) have been updated many times since.

[minor point]I said above that I just double clicked the provided exe - of course I didn't, I dragged and dropped tbfm.zip onto it, and then later made a shortcut that used -file tbfm.zip[/minor point]

I get that feeling when playing that Christmas game thingy, Enjay (the one with the snow particles).

That's why I love GZDoom. It actually gets updated! ZDoom on the other hand...

Yeah, that's another good example. The snow effects are quite cool, but having to drop back to ver 1.17 or 1.18 or whatever it is can be quite painful.

Basically everything mentioned here will be improved if I work on this anymore. But I am completely unmotivated now, thats why I released it. All of my time and energy is going into learning Java and C++.
