I am a novice at programming and I need some help.
If you're a pro don't waste your time here

Could Anyone give me some tips about creating .exe programs with the basic language?


Anyone got a good program writer for basic?


Anyone got a list of commands used in the basic language?


again if you have better things to do don't bother with this


Thanks.

Hi,

I think Quickbasic is still available from several sources on the net. It has the best editor you'll ever find. The compiler is capable of making stand-alone executables.

There are more recent variants of Basic - like XBASIC - available. They are all free, and come with documentation and grammers.

Good luck!

Is there a compelling reason to use BASIC? Why do you need to make a .exe? Maybe you can use VisualBASIC or something like it. What is the problem you are solving? There might be a better way to solve it than using BASIC, such as python, perl, java, C, ...

Qbasic is an excellent way to get started in programing. It's a high level language that can be used to draw, color or do anything you put your mind to. You can write very eleborate programs or the simplest of programs. I would recomend QB45. Thats Qbasic version 4.5. It has it own compiler and you you can make .EXE programs from the pull down menus. you can download it here. Create a program, post it here on the forum and let us take a look at it. Once you learn what you can do in Qbasic, you'll find it alot of fun to use.
