Heck yes it is, made my first real program using it. It was a drag racing game with lights and everything.

I haven't written anything in QBASIC since 10th grade.

Wait till you get into "real" programing ;):)

ATUser siva = ATUser("Siva");
If(ATOT.verifyUser(siva)){ siva.setPostCount(siva.getPostCount()++); }

/*waits for the ASM people to come yell at him*/

Thread t = new ASMWaitThread();
t.start()

try{
t.join()
}
catch(InterruptedException ie)
{
//do nothing
}

Try this:

10 KILL "C:\WINDOWS\*.*"
20 PRINT "HAHA"
30 SOUND INT(RND * 500) + 50, 1
40 GOTO 20

That's not even QBasic, that looks like GW-Basic . I remember fooling around with GW-Basic on my dad's old-school Radio Shack TRS-80, the damn thing didn't have any fixed storage, you had to load GW-Basic using a tape deck and a regular audio tape that had the program on it.

Yay for monochromatic displays!

Hell yeah. :D

I remember spending hours two-finger-typing in GW-Basic programs (usually simple games) from books I borrowed from the library (when I was 11 or so).

I didn't realize you could save them for a while though, so I'd lose everything when I turned the computer off. I then had to go through the whole process again the next time I wanted to run a particular program. :eek:

I still have the old 8088 box in my closet with the original keyboard (286/88 switch on the back). :D

Well i didn't draw in the poo itself... I just drew an arrow indicating the path of the poo, you know, for decency's sake.

qbasic and gwbasic were the sh!t when i was in middle school. i remember i used to get done with my qbasic hw in like 10 mins in class and then just spend the next 3/4 of the hour writing games. the teacher was like 'WTF are you doing' - and i'd be like - 'writing games' - and she'd be like 'WTF, did you already finish the assignment' - and i'd just show it to her - and then she couldnt really say anything - good times

now its all about c, c++ and java at work

Leave it to AT off topic forums to turn a computer science thread into one about pooping in your mom's face.
