Shocking. Perhaps I should take a leaf out of Gates's book, and
employ astroturfers to plug my software.

When people start finishing and releasing games made with it, I think
it will get more attention.

Downsides:
Sprites seem to flicker a lot sometimes, collision isn't as tight as
it is in MM/JSW, that's about it. Otherwise it's excellent.

There is, of course, one other advantage to using PGD rather than
JSWED, which is that distributing games based on the PGD engine(s)
doesn't infringe anyone's copyrights.

True. Plus, the way blocks are set up in PDG means you can have many
blocks with the same attributes, making it much easier to draw large
background objects.
