SpiderBasic

For 2D games it's not too bad. Just have to put most of your work in procedures and any minor differences just use CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Processor constant. Being able to do a quick compile in PureBasic or SpiderBasic to see if your cross platform code is good would be nice. Just to make sure it ...
