What makes you think any of the IEC 61131 automation programming languages are likely to be useful in game development?

Sorry I mean PLC program under "games"

 

[Steve Bailey]

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

I guess one might make a tic-tac-toe game using push-buttons and lamps/leds in just about any old language, including ladder.

I once considered writing Space Invaders for a PLC-5/40 and PanelView 1200 on Remote I/O. We had the speed and memory available, but not the graphics for the moving attackers and disintegrating bunkers. That problem goes away on current HMI models.

So the plan was to provide a game in the HMI because you felt bad that the operators had no PC to play Solitare?? LOL!
