Subscribe Feed (RSS)Fun with QuickBasic for Mac
February 2nd, 2009 by kteck | No Comments | Filed in BendingFor the fun of it I ported my dos simulation basic program from applesoft basic to Microsoft Quickbasic for Mac… There are quite a few differences to get over. The result of this was far more clean and tidy code too… feel free to port it back to applesoft for the fun of it. Even tho it looks less impressive/not good enough to fool anyone im releasing it anyway 
For those with old macs you can download a copy of QuickBasic For Mac here…
