Heh, memories... reminds me of my early years, one of my aunts colleagues from m.i.t came over, he took over our computer and wrote a physics engine in qbasic.. he said he was gonna re-write it in asm, but I think he just wanted to test out our top notch PC :)

fucking lamer. he sings about that his qbasic code compiled. if they mean quick basic they better say it.

terribly sorry, but that wasn't funny, that was sad.

After all these years, is there anything else that's as easy to get started with?

I think I tried FreeBASIC once. If I remember correctly it sucked balls. KidBASIC looks mighty fine though. For kids. Of course, they forgot rule #1 when you're making stuff for kids: don't put the word "kid" in the name.

i think SmallBASIC is a nice language

problem with basic is that after x lines i can't read them at all anymore

CLS
PRINT "C:> ";
DO WHILE (2 > 1)
j$ = INKEY$
IF (LEN(j$) = 1) THEN
IF (ASC(j$) = 27) THEN STOP
PRINT j$;
END IF
LOOP

NOTE: you will have to use <Esc> to end this one.
