Saw this on Hacker News; it’s an ongoing compendium of classic BASIC games, rewritten in up to 10 accepted programming languages; as well as space for “alternative” languages.

This looks incredibly cool and fun. Would be interested trying to re-write some of the games myself when I have some free time.
Said every developer.
It has only been about 44 years. I expect to have some time next week.
Same. Should be able to get it done in two to three weeks. This time for sure maybe
I’ll set aside a couple hours this weekend to knock out a couple.
Indeed… :|
I did this with a BASIC game called Wizard’s Castle that I played a lot of as a kid. The first step was to “reverse engineer” the manually-compressed BASIC code and write up a spec. Then I rewrote it in Rust as a learning exercise. 🙂
Holy shit, I used to own this book.
Why would anyone want to change from BASIC?
