Lemonade is discontinued

Hi there!

I am using Lemonade a long time now, what happened to the development? I read in some thread that KL wanted to rewrite it from scratch...

What about using GNU/C++ for a new Lemonade Tool, so it can run on Linux too without problems, since many people are using Linux+UAE for emulation?

I'm just an intermediate programmer, but I'm sure there are some good devs out there, I would like to help too!

Sincerly,

Spellbreaker

I hate to admit this, but I neither have the time or energy to work on Lemonade. I worked on Lemonade while being single and unemployed. Now with a girlfriend, a full time job, a more social life and a whole lot of private projects with higher priority I consider Lemonade totally dead. Even if someone want to continue with the coding I have no time at all to manage the project.

Thanks everyone for your support, suggestions and and cheerful comments. I really looked forward to release 1.0, but it never made it! Crying or Very sad

Care to release the code?

I'll have speak with to Robert about this since 95% of the coding is his job.

Seems a shame if it is discontinued...

I'm certainly disappointed, especially considering how close to finished it is.

What programming language/tools were used to create Lemonade?

Kim Lemon · Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:49 pm Post subject:

It was developed in VB6, which ofcourse is very obsolete these days. I really really wish I had the time and patience for a brand new Lemonade. It had great potential, and that's what bothers me the most.

I myself have dabbled in VB6 but I wouldn't say I'm the most experienced at it. But as you say, it's quite obsolete.

What about releasing the database as CSV? I'd love to try myself on a similar tool, of course you would get tons of credits in the Tool Smile

I'd be very interested to have a look at that source code!

So, finally it is a fact....

It would indeed be quite interesting to re-write the program in, for instance, C#. I myself cannot possible take on this project, for the same reasons as Kim.... we are not children any more, unfortunately.... but I would be happy to help, if someone else would take on the role of Project Manager Wink

This is too bad, and too sad.

But Lemonade can continue to be used to years to come
(atleast in suitable Windows).

If only we can add to the game-list ourselves, though...
