Hello everyone. It's nice to see people who are BASIC die hards. Especially in a retro enthusiast community.

I started programming with Blitz2d and Qbasic when I was 13. My old website was geekbasic.com now defunct. Now I'm 29 and have had interesting creations over the years.

In recent times, I began studying expression evaluation. Several experiments have come from this including an RPN scientific calculator, and some unique BASIC dialects.

My main projects right now are:
 Craft Basic, a direct nterpreter
 Commando Basic, a tokenized interpreter
 FTCBASIC, a minimal compiler for DOS

I live off grid in tbe wilderness with my wife and animals. We have limited solar power and a generator. Recently got a turbine. Our primary operating systems are Windows 95 and XP. Nothing newer here. We do have MANY retro machines including the Atari ST.

Hey, welcome aboard!

Ooooooh, off grid retro.  That sounds some sweet, and would make for a pretty wicked blog.

Thank you. 

I would blog, but I'm always busy surviving. One day...

Oh yes, I'm a big fan and supporter of surviving. The alternative sucks.

I'm apparently late to the party. 🤔

Started programming BASIC on schools C64s back in the day before I got my own C64 eventually. Continued to use Microsoft flavours of BASIC after switching to PC — GW-BASIC, QBasic, VisualBasic.  But also other languages like Turbo Pascal and C.  Today my favourite programming language is Python.  I see some similarities to my first BASIC experiences: interpreted, interactive use to play around with code and as "programmable calculator", easy clean syntax, ...

A belated "Welcome!"

If aliens landed and demanded you rewrite your game in BASIC as the ultimate test of intellect, would you do it? This question challenges you to reflect on your programming choices and ponder the implications of using a language considered outdated.
