BabaBASIC

>I think the killer feature of QBasic and even more so QuickBasic was the help and reference without any internet access in the 90s, I taught myself QBasic largely out of that…

> the killer feature ... was the help and reference So much this. The help in QBasic is how I learned to program at ten years old in a pre-internet world. A couple years later my…

This is nice, I'd like to know the changes you made. I started a discussion on GitHub, I think the killer feature of QBasic and even more so QuickBasic was the help and…

Impressive project! I remember a friend showed how to render some "demo" style graphics (not a fractal, I believe it was some kind of line-based art) on our pentium. First time I…

Yep, me and my son are currently daily users of QB1.1 in DOSBox. Works nicely, but you might need trial and error to figure out the [Break] key when you're on a laptop. Haven't…

Not with BabaBASIC (for now?). No networking support whatsoever :P

No, not at the moment, it only supports the default "text mode" (VT100). Graphics modes are my next milestone.

Ohhhh yes, you're absolutely right. Frankly, this is my first Android/mobile application, so I'm still trying to wrap my head around the limited screen space and whatnot. I'd be…

Awesome! A blast from the past! Feature request: could you make SOUND and/or PLAY work? :-)

Does it supports graphics?

Yeah, but... Can it gorillas.bas?

That's an awesome resource! Thank you for sharing. Hopefully BabaBASIC will be able to run any of these games at some point of time. My first explorations as a child were more…

I'm actively working on some kind of "live docs" feature for BabaBASIC. Though ... I have to wonder (and I'm only half-joking) -- should it just be a ChatGPT integration that can…

Does it supports graphics?

Mid 90s qbasic was how I learned to program! My friend and I extended the nibbles / snake game ... I wonder if I can get it to run on your qbasic implementation:…

Ah, and I almost forgot, in re the changes: the commit log is the definitive (and painstakingly accurate) log of changes: https://github.com/ianatha/bababasic/commits/main To…

QB64 has taken on the mantel of modern reimplementation, its worth seeing if there are any extensions from there that are worth implementing.

Worth noting that you can also run the original qbasic in dosbox. That's handy if you want to run old qbasic code, since typically that code expects to be able to poke hardware…

You could also use B4A (https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html), which compiles BASIC into Java bytecode and has an interface builder -- as well as versions available for iOS, Arduino, and…
