Game Creators Shutdown

Beyond specific tools and languages, I wish programming language designers would get ANSI standards for multimedia extensions.
Then anyone could keep this kind stuff alive (hardware shifts, abstractions via standard don't).

Incredible as it may seem, The Game Creators shut down their online system with little warning. I hope none of you missed that deadline because the compilers are not available any more. I wish they had emailed everyone.

hi :) In this Article, I'll show you how to set up FreeBASIC and use Notepad++ to compile and run it
First, go to freebasic.net and download the FreeBASIC compiler (usually it is both 32-bit and 64-bit, like fbc32.exe and fbc64.exe). Download the who*snip*

BASIC - Programming language of yesterdays?

8th July 2025
During the early stages of JSE, I investigated all the various 8bit BASICs and was horrified by what I saw of C64s version. I hadn't experienced C64 BASiC up until that poking, having grown up with an Amstrad CPC, and most friends owning either BBC Mi*snip*

you are right, the polination.
qbasic is the first basic I learn from. I thought it is the original basic. I was wrong. the syntax has been polinated.

BASIC - Programming language of yesterdays?

8th July 2025
It's hard to define BASIC by syntax alone these days.
There has been cross polination between Fortran, Algol, and later Pascal.
Culturally it's always heavily Imperative and Procedural in practice using arbitrary keyword based program flow.

@Pixel_Outlaw: Blitz Basic is now open source so you can add that to your version that you can compile, or you can use FreeBasic, that is written in FreeBasic, and add that to that compiler.
I think it might be in that one already though.

Welcome, Forest Gump

You can transpile BASIC syntax to javascript and you will have first class functions for free, and also Class, etc.
This what I have tried before, but i have to stop if for some reason. I still want to try it someday.

I think there's still some room to go. (I really want first class functions with closures - language features going back to the 50s and 60s)
But BASIC has come a long way from unstructured messes inherited from the style we see with Dartmout*snip*
