I'll take one with a brighter screen if it runs QBASIC

@nlarson830 @NanoRaptor

I can't help you with the calculator part, but have you seen QB64? It's a modern take on QBASIC that's FOSS and cross-platform.

@vwbusguy is the guy to talk to. He's a huge fan/evangelist.

@RL_Dane @NanoRaptor @vwbusguy

Excellent I'll have to check that out!

@nlarson830 @RL_Dane @NanoRaptor I have a CALC command in #qbsh. I also wrote a GUI calculator in @qb64 a while back, but I don't remember if I published or even kept the code around.

@nlarson830 @RL_Dane @NanoRaptor @qb64 The TL;DR about #qbsh is that I've been writing a #BASIC shell for modern operating systems (especially Linux, but it can run on Windows and MacOS) and it's written in #QBASIC and compiled with @qb64. It's fully #opensource, can run in a container, and also supports ARM/aarch64.

I have some significant improvements to it I'm going to ship soon, as well.

@nlarson830 @RL_Dane @NanoRaptor @qb64 I wanted to recapture some of the experience of booting up an old school Commodore 64, Osborne, or Atari, but from a modern operating system. No emulators, etc.

#QB64 has a GUI builder?!? 🤯

QB64: Modern BASIC

@RL_Dane @nlarson830 @NanoRaptor @qb64 I wrote a simple "decision maker" GUI app with it once. I had intended to package it as a flatpak but never got that far with it.
