# BabaBASIC

## Write and run QuickBASIC 4.5 programs, just like in the 80s

BabaBASIC lets you write and run QuickBASIC 4.5-compatible programs on your Android device, enabling you to reminisce of the prehistoric computing era.

## Why I am making this?

I 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.
I couldn't find anything that I felt comfortable recommending to him, so I pulled an all-nighter and made this.

## Running on the command-line

```
./gradlew :bbasic:build
java -jar bbasic/build/libs/bbasic-standalone.jar INPUT.BAS
```

## Standing on the shoulders of giants

* BabaBASIC started as fork of [mayuropensource/PuffinBASIC](https://github.com/mayuropensource/PuffinBASIC),
but 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).
