Hi rcbasicfans!
Scrapship was originally developed with QB64 but is now using QB64PE (Phoenix Edition).
The 2 versions are pretty similar but the PE version is the most current while the original QB64 is pretty much abandoned.
Sometime last year there was quite a shocking event in the QB64 community that you can read about here (and then scroll down to the bottom to the entry dated 2022-04-13).
Thanks for the link to the Game Jam, I'll sign up if it looks like I can squeeze it into my schedule. Regardless I'm looking forward to playing all the submissions at the end.
