Is it possible to use AppGameKit in windowed mode? I would like to place the game area in a form with other controls around it - this to produce language-teaching modules. Obviously, I could use DBP or other tools to do this - but I'd like the actual dynamic (game) bit to be cross-platform.

It would be relatively easy if the player could accept some parameters, such as /W+HWND and also /A(path to assets folder

you need a setup.agc file in your app project folder along the main.agc.

setup.agc :

+ Code Snippet

rem
rem ----------*** AGK Setup File ***----------
rem
rem NOTE: This file is used by the core binary
rem to configure basic  setup values  required
rem prior to execution of the  AGC source code.
rem No spaces allowed beyond this point:

rem Window title (delete to hide window bar)
title=AppTitle

rem Specify the initial device width
width=480

rem Specify the initial device height
height=320

rem Specify to run in fullscreen or not (default is 0 : windowed mode)
fullscreen=0

for windows, to integrate this window into another program you can play with HWND's window's position and Send commands (by API) to the HWND or keystrokes to control it.

You can easily detect and retrieve a window Handle by its title

(possible with all the main languages)

For Mac it's also possible but i have never tried to deal with it.

Good luck
