   My Monopoly game was written in ca65 assembly so you need to cross-compile it   
   (compile on a PC) from the source to get the executable.  This is the same for   
   Neohabitat.  In this case, the source files are simply text files.   
      
   As for BASIC, I guess it would depend on how you're writing it.  Personally, I   
   would just upload the .prg files and state in a readme that they are BASIC.    
   There are tools that allow you to convert them into text if they are BASIC   
   programs.   
      
   On the other hand, you might feel more comfortable with uploading it as a text   
   file since that could be converted, too.  Its really up to you.   
      
   You would get visual diffs for the files if they were text but not everyone   
   would have the right tools so you'd probably want to upload the .prg files too.
