  The most used BASIC dialect on Itch: AppGameKit
Posted by: luwal - 04-29-2025, 03:13 AM - Forum: Programming - Replies (14)

The most used BASIC dialect on Itch should be "AppGameKit" because 271 game projects can be found!

https://itch.io/games/made-with-appgamekit
Cool

The 2nd most used BASIC dialect should be "GFA Basic" because 162 game projects use the tag “gfabasic”!

  Suggestion: other classic games in QuickBasic 4.5
Posted by: luwal - 04-28-2025, 03:02 AM - Forum: Suggestions - Replies (2)

Hello...I discovered that there were other classic games in version 4.5: NIBBLES, QBLOCKS, QBRICKS, QMAZE, QSHIP, REVERSI.

Marcus is writing a NaaLaa version of Gorillas. Other NaaLaa experts can try to write the above classic games in NaaLaa. Quite challenging. The finished games will become interesting examples in future versions of NaaLaa! Good luck.

Version 4.5 of QuickBasic is on this page. I believe that this version can be run under DOSBox.

  Suggestion: an example for QuickBASIC's Gorillas.bas
Posted by: luwal - 04-27-2025, 01:37 AM - Forum: Suggestions - Replies (3)

QuickBASIC's Gorillas.bas is so classic.

A QB64 version is here:

The technical information of the game: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/compiling...orillas-on

I hope that some NaaLaa experts will try to write the game in NaaLaa and Marcus will add the NaaLaa version to the next version of NaaLaa!

Wow. I found a nice game again!

You are tasked with writing BASIC code to generate voxel objects.  Each challenge presents you with a new object to replicate.

  C64 Game Maker v1.5.5
Posted by: luwal - 04-22-2025, 04:55 AM - Forum: Programming - No Replies

Perhaps some members will be interested in the tool.

"C64 Game Maker" is a tool that allows you to generate C++ source code for simple video games. (Allows you to use a simple BASIC language to make the code.)
