I discovered BASIC8 on Steam and it allows a similar programming environment to what QBasic was for me years ago. I was 14 and able to start programming simple things including drawing circles,rectangles, and triangles. Having graphics as part of the standard library was a huge benefit to me at the time and one that I sacrificed when I switched to C as my primary language.

But having BASIC8 could be a fun retro programming experience to allow me to relearn BASIC and perhaps even make games or cool animations with it like I do with my C programming except that I will already have a standard set of functions to save time and won’t have to translate most of my own BBM library into it.
Here is the code of my first program.
