Hello. I have a question regarding AppGameKit Studio, as I have never used it before.

Does AppGameKit Classic codes easily transferrable to AppGameKit Studio?

Easy, as in it can be copy-pasted to AppGameKit Studio?
Or will it need major overhauls?
Any important changes that I should be aware of?
Is there a lot of command changes?

Context: I want to use AppGameKit Studio 'headless'/ no graphic/no OpenGL feature
#Renderer "None"
to make a 'server' app for online multiplayer. The server app made in Classic requires OpenGL, which require expensive server/hosting service with graphic cards.
So I'm considering to buy AppGameKit Studio now.

Thanks in advance. Any opinion is welcomed.

yes especially when you use renderer "basic" that should be identical
there may be slight changes to using vulkan but all of the programs ive made with classic
that ive tested have worked in studio

There are some differences, such-as Deprecated Functions... you can use them and in Error Warning Mode it'll let you know they're no longer supported., but in Error Ignore they'll be usable without doing anything.
Mind, I'm not actually sure that #Renderer None actually disables all Graphics Hardware requirements.

Thank you for the explanation. I just bought AppGameKit Studio!

But something confuses me.
In the IDE, where is the window that shows all the subroutines? The one we can call by Gosub ?

All I can see at the top are "Functions" and "Variables"?

How can I enable the subroutine list?
