Goz 🕹Happy 60th birthday BASIC!
HowToPhil@howtophil Color Computer Extended Basic is where I got my start. Now I use FastBasic on my Atari 800XL and it gives me speed, procedures and a whole slew of cool things.
@goz I'm fairly fond of FreeBASIC and Gambas (I also like revisiting Applesoft BASIC). I started making a #StrangerThings text adventure in it a while back but life pulled me away: https://archive.org/download/stranger_things_adventure_201804
@howtophil I’ll have to check it out!
I was using Fastbasic on my Atari to complete Advent of Code 2022, I made it up to day 10:

When I streamed it, I had my 1200XL set up with a Fujinet so I could sync the source to GitHub in real time:

@goz Sounds cool :) I don't github anymore because I don't do forced 2fA. I still download things from there though
@howtophil I have my own Gitea instance set up now 😉
@goz Very nice :)
I use rsync over ssh for most of my personal syncing needs. I don't have a lot of need for versioning beyond "I decided to store a version change today"
