MEET  QB64      

QBasic does not work any longer on its own in a Windows environment.  I've kept the old General remarks and file descriptions almost unchanged below.  
   
Instead there is now a Windows-compatible version: QB64. Its portal site with download facilities is here:  https://www.portal.qb64.org/. Simply install the software.
    A *.bas program opened in QB64 can be run immediately. QB64 will then create an *.exe file (in its own directory), and run it.  Afterwards the *.exe can also be run on its own.
    It is worth reminding that a QB64 editing or output window can be brought to Full Screen by pushing the keys ALT+ENTER. Using them repeatedly lets you cycle through the modes
    Window  =>  Full Screen  =>  Full Screen interlaced  =>  Full Screen proportional*  =>  Full Screen proportional interlaced  =>  Window
    *proportional = centered and with the screen ratio of a DOS screen (640x480, or 3x2), so that circles and squares get well-proportioned.
    
I have made adapted QB64 *.bas versions of the programs on this page. I have joined them all together in one *.zip file, which is dowloadable here.
    In many programs the adaptation consists of, or includes, slowing down execution speed to get a smooth animation.
    Look for a (nested) loop "FOR dum = 0 TO 10000 : (FOR dum2 = 0 TO NNN : NEXT dum2 :) NEXT dum" and adapt the limits if too slow or fast yet...
   
Another zip file with VB (VisualBasic) versions of some of these programs is also available here .
   
I have also uploaded the *.bas files and the *.exe files into Google Drive. Here are the links for the *.bas directory and the *.exe directory (~75 MB).
   I've also included the VB and Excel files in the *.exe directory.
    An alternative description of this page with individual links to the *.exe files (but without links to the individual code and screenshot zip files) is here.

General remarks
  •     Got rid of QBasic or never seen it? (it's a Dos command). Download it here!
     
  •     QBasic does not work any longer on its own in a Windows environment. One needs a "DOS shell" tool to have it run in. This is achieved eg by DOSBox, from within which QB is then launched, its programs opened and run. Moreover, you can take screenshots or a video of the output. More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSBox   and    http://www.dosbox.com/   ...
  •     An alternative for QB, PowerBasic or PB, is also no longer Windows-compatible, but can be run within DOSBox. Often the same .bas-code may run both in QB and PB. Occasionally I've written an adapted PB .bas code, in the remaining cases only QB would run the .bas file. In the case of Tapistry, it had to be PB only, due to a DIM HUGE command unavailable in QB. The program wouldn't even run within PB, but the compiled program runs all right.

  •     I have also some Visual Basic or VB program versions or programs, mentioned where available ( .vbp, .vbw, .frm and corresponding .exe files)
  •     Each program below comes with a code.zip and a screenshot.zip file. The code.zip may contain QB and/or PB .bas code, the .exe compilations (for compiling QB the extended QuickBasic program is needed), and where available VB or Excel versions. The screenshot.zip shows some output examples of the program, and occasionally also the intro screens or menus. For some programs other illustratory material is available, which is then pointed to.
