1. I have no problems running your games.
2. I vote to keep the development the way it is, thus yielding a quicker

If later on in the future you wish to change the programming language,
go right ahead.
Hello gamers,
First, I'd like to start by clearing up a bit of confusion I made during
my future of USA Games inquiry. Montezuma's Revenge is well on schedule,

Montezuma Revenge by switching programming languages mid development.
