  QuickBASIC 4.5 revival on Android

  Jamon Holmgren's personal website, built in QBasic (yes, really)

I love this so much. I got my start on QBasic and made hundreds of games between 12 and 19 years old. I eventually left it behind, but always had a fond spot in my heart for it.

Last year, when I was going to rebuild my personal website, someone on Twitter challenged me: “Build it in QBasic, you coward”. I was like “haha…wait, can I?”

And I did! It runs on QB64 on a DigitalOcean droplet.

Here’s the source:

https://github.com/jamonholmgren/jamon.dev

Check app.bas for the QBasic code.

I may eventually release a CLI and library that lets people spin up a QB64 website in little time.

  QBasic snake game with extra awesome enhancements! (by ronyeh)

Mid 90s qbasic was how I learned to program!

My friend and I extended the nibbles / snake game ... I wonder if I can get it to run on your qbasic implementation:
