Hello, I saw the jam result.....some thoughts. Perhaps the category of word game is unfavourable in modern game jam or people don't like games with ASCII user interfaces. Anyway, if you want to use other BASIC dialects to develop word games with graphic interfaces or ordinary graphic games, the comprehensive tutorials on this page may be useful to you: https://itch.io/board/5444322/comprehensive-learning-materials-for-basic
Bye and good luck.
