I haven't used Qbasic 64 before. My computer is still old though. LOL. Just a single core CPU at under 2Ghz on Linux running the original Qbasic in DOSBOX as my test environment.Here's two compelling reasons why you should start learning to code with QBasic 64. Firstly my two kids learned to take their first steps into the world of programming using this medium. Its easy to learn, doesnt involve any ridiculous languages made to try and make the user look smart not just someone that wasted their time learning to speak a new meta language and needing 14 lines of code to say Let A=1
I embed 32-bit assembly into my DOS qbasic programs. I must say my favorite function call is "Call absolute". I even favor it over "Call InterruptX"The other, in my own world, I use it to write simple and sometimes very complex programs, databases, media library utilities (in particular my phone and player play list organisation as well as extensions to Spreadsheet and other software I use. Its fast, Its free and is usable pretty much out of the box.
The QuickBasic-like thing that is for windows 3.x and up is called Visual Basic. For MS-DOS, its just Qbasic, and QuickBasic. I think the latest version for DOS is QuickBasic 7.0.So lets not let this die, it was originally a part of windows till the greedy though oo we can make this into a new meta language and charge people to learn how to do over what they did for free in the past.
