A little #program that lets you move a Smiley Face around the screen using #QB64

(source code in ALT text)

And the hardware will stay the same for a while, so optmizing for it makes sense. Instead of #qbasic or AMOS we now have #love2d with ZeroBaneStudio, for #allegro we have #raylib and deluxe paint now became aseprite/libresprite, etc. Plus it can run your favorite retro emulator/fantasy console.

FYI: QBasic Nostalgia: Remembering the 90s Programming Era #shorts: Remember QBasic? It came bundled with Windows, making coding accessible. But Microsoft stopped evolving Visual Basic, leaving simple coding in the past. Now, DOSBox emulators are needed to relive those early programming days. #QBasic #Windows #VisualBasic #DOSBox #CodingHistory https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BL_APGGJA9g

Me to local-run exaone3.5:32b "write a #QuickBasic program to animate a white square moving from left to right repeatedly"

Most #coding #AIs fuck up #QBASIC code pretty bad. This one did better than most I've tried. On the Left is what it spat out, and on the Right is how I fixed it.

Some shit code nonetheless.

That's a wrap for #SCaLE22x! It was great to see so many familiar faces and have so many great conversations about #Fedora, #Kubernetes, #DevOps, #Nextcloud, #podman, #QBASIC, and other #Linux adventures!

See you all again next year if not sooner!

My 8 year old son has fallen in love with this old laptop that honestly isn’t useful for that much as the speed and wifi is so slow.

But he says he wants to learn how to code on it.

@codemonkeymike yes, I would recommend learning Racket. The Racket language is relatively lightweight compared to modern app development frameworks such as VSCode so runs nice and fast on older hardware, and it is designed specifically for teaching coding. There are some nice books aimed at kids for teaching Racket as well:

It is about as easy as learning BASIC was when I was a kid.

Ich erinnere mich immer noch an die Zeit von #qbasic Games oder mein #kellogs Spiel auf 12 3,5'' Disketten.

Das war vor ~30 Jahren.
