GORILLA.BAS fixed for QB64 & Linux
A downloadable game for Linux
This is GORILLA.BAS -- the classic QuickBASIC example game of two gorilla's tossing explosives at each other while standing on buildings.
Copyright 1990, by Microsoft. I've tweaked just a few tiny bits and pieces to make it build with QB64. Archive contains the slightly tweaked original source and a Linux binary.
It's not perfect. The REST() function had to be tweaked (in order to be QB64 compatible) and that results in the animations not being 100% right... but it works!

I am doing this in Windows 10 but I assume it will be the same as in Linux. The program assumes a resolution of 640x480 which is quite small for most monitors. A quick fix is to put this code in the program:
$RESIZE:STRETCH
With $RESIZE:STRETCH the screen will be stretched to fit the new window size with a 1 to 1 ratio of width and height.
A better option would allow you to have a program option to select the window size. For example, 1280x960.
Thank you for doing this.
