Yes, I forgot about GPS. I remember reading it used GTK.

But I also remember reading the other day that you said about GPS using
using Python somehow, right?

I have GPS. It is nice. But GTK Ada has been around for long time.

Someone must have written some animations or simulation or game
GUI using Ada-GTK,

That is what I meant. May be you did yourself also, since I know
you are an expert in Ada GTK also.

For example, can one use Ada GTK to make GUI apps like these?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/collections/game.fc1

I am sure all the above were written in C++ or C#, since
they are from MS store. There are sites like the above
with thousands of apps. I will be nice to have
such examples for ones done using only Ada-GTK.

May be the folks who use Ada all the time prefer to do
serious real-time embedded system program for air traffic
control systems and have no time for making silly GUI apps
in Ada :)
