I notice that you only use QB64 to develop games. Nowadays many BASIC dialects are actually suitable for game development. Why did you select QB64 to create games? What advantages does QB64 have over other BASIC dialects?
Hi, and thanks for your comment! I've been coding in QuickBASIC since I was 9 or 10. QB64 has everything I need, it removes the memory limitations and there's a massive amount of new commands that together make QB64 a serious and a sufficient coding environment (for my needs at least). Also, I don't really have a choice. :-D I have some skills in other coding languages and BASIC dialects, but since I'm a part-time hobbyist, I don't have the time or the interest to try and master any new systems at this point. I'll keep using QB64 until I hit that moment where I want to do something that QB64 doesn't support. We're not there yet!
Your reply is a long post! A detailed explanation!
"QB64 has everything I need," <== Good!
"it removes the memory limitations and there's a massive amount of new commands that together make QB64 a serious and a sufficient coding environment (for my needs at least)." <== Thanks for explaining to me! I really don't know since I am not a QB64 user. QB64 sounds like a very useful and versatile programming software.
"I don't have the time or the interest to try and master any new systems at this point." <== Time is a real problem!
" I'll keep using QB64 until I hit that moment where I want to do something that QB64 doesn't support." <== I see! I hope that you will continue releasing good games made with QB64 in the future!!!

I will, thanks! :)
I love the look of this!
Thank you! :)
