Those of you who like and continue to use #BASIC, what do you like? What do you miss when you're coding in something else? Yes, embedded BASIC dialects count.

Do you think BASIC still has life left in it?

Any general tips for doing well at a game of Hamurabi, of 101 BASIC Computer Games fame? I got the original BASIC source to compile on Linux, thanks to FreeBASIC, but I keep ending up a fink within a round or two. #Hamurabi #BASIC #retrogaming #FreeBASIC #retrocomputing #Linux

🌗 FreeBASIC 程式語言 | 官方網站
➤ 開源、相容、且功能強大的 BASIC 編譯器
✤ https://freebasic.net/
FreeBASIC 是一個免費且開源的 BASIC 編譯器，適用於 Windows、DOS 和 Linux 系統。它高度相容 QuickBASIC 程式碼，能無修改編譯並運行許多 QuickBASIC 程式。同時，FreeBASIC 也提供更強大的功能，支援程序式、物件導向和元程式設計範式，並能產生主控臺和圖形化應用程式，以及動態和靜態函式庫。它支援 C 函式庫，並具有部分 C++ 函式庫支援，使其能與 C 及其他語言的函式庫無縫整合。
+ 「我一直在尋找一個能取代 QuickBASIC 的開源替代方案，FreeBASIC 似乎正符合我的需求！」
+ 「這真是個令人印象深刻的專案！能將經典 BASIC 語言帶入現代，並提供如此多的功能。」

Welcome to 2023, where #BASIC still refuses to die! 🚀 #FreeBASIC, the open-source relic, ensures you can relive your QuickBASIC glory days... if you're willing to rewrite everything 😅. #Nostalgia strikes again, because nothing screams "modern innovation" like DOS support! 🖥️🎉

I wish #FreeBASIC had an interpreter mode. There is just something to he said about being able to write a shabang line and just code.
