Re: AdaGames

Any game that makes use of multitasking demonstrates a capability of Ada
that is not as easily done in other languages. The problem you have is that
there is no standard GUI for Ada. If you could utilize GtkAda as your GUI,
you'd have some level of portability - which is another advantage of Ada.

In the end, anything that can be programmed in Ada can sooner or later be
programmed in some other language. The end user doesn't see the language, so
it doesn't necessarily demonstrate the power of Ada. The power of Ada is
illustrated in the development process - not the end product. Dream up an
interesting game and build it in Ada and be satisfied that you got the job
done quicker with fewer defects.
