And who wrote what in BASIC, if he wrote at all? The maximum that I mastered was “Sokoban” (from the “Technique of Youth”) on Mikrosh (and, by the way, for the first time I realized the need to save on a tape recorder and what a freeze is).

On Basic under DOS, I wrote a solo on the keyboard. Too bad it didn't survive.
But what was preserved was what he wrote in Pascal under DOS, having only the mouse driver in his hands:

On Basic, built into the first PCs, she did engineering calculations.
In VBA, I automate everything that has an open object model - office, photoshop, indesign, coreldraw, etc.

I did simple demoscene, on 086

1. Assembly compiler.
2. Platformer toy.
3. Drawing (well, how could it be without it in 1988)
4. An interpreter of something similar to Brainfuck
5. A self-learning toy tic-tac-toe (for an hour)
6. A virus that replaces punctuation marks in Word files with “indefinite articles of the Russian language » (with a button to restore everything, if you type 20 different mats in the input)
7. Converter Active directory -> ldiff
In general, the BASIC has always not digested. But on all sorts of corvettes and sinkclairs, there was no other worker, and with small software APIs, I could not do anything else.

1. Game, two-dimensional racing.
2. Voice synthesizer.
3. Virtual piano.
4. A bunch of programs for exams for high school students (physics, astronomy, computer science).
5. A couple of keyboard trainers.
6. "Graphic editor". It is in quotation marks, because I had to draw in teams anyway).
This (and a little more) in Vilnius BASIC.

1. Snake under DOS and DirectX at different times.
2. PSX card reader
3. In general, there was a lot of work with I / O ports
4. Converting XLS files with answers to tests, to a database, and then to an ASP (before .NET) site with answers.
5. A bunch of small utilities needed only by me.

My most up-to-date qbasic program was a program for drawing all kinds of figures in polar coordinates with a preliminary calculation of coordinates. The whole thing had a graphic progress indicator in the form of a ruler with small rectangles that change color. And yes, overclocking 386 to 40 megahertz with the help of quartz - and everything flew.)))

BASIC became my first programming language. A friend bought a keyboard with built-in BASIC and a NES clone, I think Magick. Along with it came a pretty good mini BASIC textbook in Russian.
It was not possible to save it on a tape recorder, they copied it into notebooks or simply memorized it. The most difficult thing that I wrote was a toy - in the center of the screen there is a machine gun, you turn it with a joystick and fight off the influx of enemies from all sides.
After there was C and Pascal.

MSX Basic - curricula in high school.
gwbasic, Turbo Basic - 1,2,3 course of the institute.
LotusScript - information systems.
VBScript - ilya-evseev.narod.ru/lotus/init5/

There was a toy on the Spectrum - Venom Strikes back. My friend and I gutted it, redid the graphics and levels. I made a level editor, and pulled out / sewed up graphics, and a friend drew.
I also made a game like Galaxy. On BK-0010-01.

On a clone of ZXSpectrum, he wrote "Field of Miracles", however, the matter was limited only to the animation of the rotation of the drum and a dozen words in the dictionary. And if we talk about VB, then even a clone of then Windows Commandera, although, again, it didn’t go further than building a directory tree, displaying in panels, deleting, copying files :)

At the UKSC, in 1996, I did the psychological testing program “Your Creative Potential”. The first such "large" program with its own fonts. It was like a graduation work from computer science courses)

From the memorable - on QBasic the game "twenty-one" ("Point").

In BASIC, I remember writing a simulator in Morse code. Then QBasic 4.5 with a compiler just appeared, the speed of the program increased by 20 times if you make a compiled application and not an interpreted one.

We took Basic in computer science in high school. Drawing pictures, solving simple problems. From useful - in the algebra lesson, we built graphs of functions in order to understand whether we analyzed them correctly.
The second time I ran into him was already at work - software was written in VB to work with one of our stands. Fortunately, I have not yet had a chance to climb into the interior of this program.

silvansky, 2013-09-30
@silvansky

I wrote several small toys under QBasic and Atari Basic. Well, I fiddled a lot with geometry, mastered different coordinate systems and drew beautiful graphs of various functions in them.
I also made a graphics editor, though instead of a mouse there was an Atari joystick ... But it was possible to draw =)

the only thing I did in basic was a calculator, my first program))

Dreddik, 2013-09-30
@Dreddik

When I studied, I made a program for testing pupils / students on QBasic.
Other little things like on/off light bulbs.
I also solved school Olympiad problems (however, the Cubase has problems with accuracy, because of this it partially merged)

Nikolai Turnaviotov, 2013-09-30
@foxmuldercp

I remember how I drew on the QB4.5 with the Thor compiler with the filling of the sectors rotating in a circle
, and any automation of small calculations in physics ETC

Artem Kalachyan, 2013-09-29
@Bringoff

Interestingly, I didn’t write on it alone? .. Maximum - I looked at the listings in “science and life” :) I don’t remember exactly, but, in my opinion, it was a reading game like “guess it”

I wrote a simple coloring book. Selecting a color from the palette and painting the picture. It was still at school.

Technically, on a modern implementation (for example, FreeBASIC), you can do everything that is on the pluses. But why?

Alexey Akulovich, 2013-09-30
@AterCattus

Pure Basic never used. For the first (and last) time, I wrote a program for working with a self-made database in Visual Basic :)

screen

All sorts of query builders, graphs, encryption. In general, bullshit.
There is on github . There is a folder with screenshots.
In general, I coded on TurboPascal and TASM as a child. The latter probably has even more: VESA, SB, Ralf Brown's Interrupt List and a book "Programming MS DOS" or something like that (translated from French) were my pillars at that time.

Jock Tanner, 2013-10-02
@Tanner

When I bought my first PC with DOS pre-installed, the first thing I did was to write a QBASIC file-deleted file restorer, and then I repaired and installed Windows 3.1, which was removed from this computer in the store. I did not write more in QBASIC and BASIC-like languages.

kemsky, 2013-10-29
@kemsky

I had Byte, it was mostly drawing games, counting rhymes, I didn’t have an Internet then.
I wrote a lot in Visual Basic: a player, a quote book, laboratory work on information theory (transmission of an image over a network with noise-immune coding), an examination paper in computer science at school - a game of dominoes, term papers and a thesis on spectroscopy (autocorrelation and statistics), a level editor for Pascal toys, ActiveX for use in scripts.
At Purebasic, I wrote extensions for adobe air and applications for working with hidden devices on Linux.
