A bog-basic template replacement program.

Download & Installation

Download the latest version from the project's GitHub Releases page.

Extract BogBat.exe from the downloaded zip file. Copy BogBat.exe anywhere on your computer and run.

BogBat is currently only available as a 64 bit build.

Compiling

• Download a version of BogBat.exe from https://github.com/ddabapps/bogbat/releases. Yes, BogBat is required to help build itself. Very recursive!

• Clone or download the source code from https://github.com/ddabapps/bogbat.

• Open Delphi (12.2 or later).

• Open Delphi's Options dialogue box (Tools | Options). Select the IDE | Environment Variables section and add the BogBatRoot environment variable under User System Overrides and set its value to the path of the directory containing BogBat.exe, without trailing backslash.

• Load src/BogBat.dpr into the IDE.

• Build.

Note that the IDE uses the BogBat executable to create the version information resource source file from src/VersionInfo.rc.template.
