QuickBASIC 4.5-compatible programs on your Android device, enabling you to reminisce of the prehistoric computing era.\n\n\n## Why I am making this?\n\nI made this app because my father, who was a programmer in the 80s, asked me to find him an Android app to showcase programming to others using QuickBASIC.\nI couldn't find anything that I felt comfortable recommending to him, so I pulled an all-nighter and made this.\n\n## Running on the command-line\n\n```\n./gradlew :bbasic:build\njava -jar bbasic/build/libs/bbasic-standalone.jar INPUT.BAS\n```\n\n## Standing on the shoulders of giants\n\n* [Rosemoe/sora-editor](https://github.com/Rosemoe/sora-editor)\n* [termux/termux-app](https://github.com/termux/termux-app)\n* BabaBASIC started as fork of [mayuropensource/PuffinBASIC](https://github.com/mayuropensource/PuffinBASIC),\nbut it's been modified significantly to match [QuickBASIC 4.5](https://ia803001.us.archive.org/12/items/Microsoft_QuickBASIC_4.5_2nd_Edition_Manual/Microsoft_QuickBASIC_4.5_2nd_Edition_Manual.pdf).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fianatha%2Fbababasic","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fianatha%2Fbababasic","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fianatha%2Fbababasic/lists"}
