Two new versions of QB64 (the Qbasic compatible compiler) are released today just in time to do some holiday coding. For the first time a Linux version of QB64 is available.
New in this release is the intergrated "Classic" IDE, which looks & behaves very close to Qbasic itself. The IDE was made in QB64. Both Windows & Linux versions come with the IDE.
QB64 is a one-man project aimed at making a Qbasic compatible compiler that will produce EXE's that will run perfectly on modern computers. Most of Qbasic commands are fully supported, making QB64 perhaps the most Qbasic compatible compiler out there. And Galleon has stated that in about a month the long awaited DRAW & PRINT USING commands will be added (most Qbasic code that fails to compile in QB64 now is because those are not yet supported).
For more information and a download link check out Galleons official QB64 release post at the QB64 project fourm:

 Two Lords :: Official Release Of Episode I
November 16, 2008, 09:35:00 PM by Eponasoft
 This is an official release of Two Lords. This is a complete version of Episode I of the game: "Escape". http://www.eponasoft.com/2l.7z This game requires Windows and is not built for other platforms, nor is it planned for release on other platforms. Most of the details are in the included text file, Two Lords.txt. However, there are a couple of details not mentioned there. A few known issues: -A few of the menu items don't quite work, namely the player name field. -Enemy AI is still a bit weak. -The third mouse button's control is still a bit off. Of course, this feature is a 'luxury' for those with a mouse wheel. -The game may still crash right after the title screen. If this happens, simply run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 98. -If you have to run the game windowed (highly unlikely with 640x480 mode working perfectly), you can disable the mouse by pressing M.

Although I'm in the middle of a 6-month trek around the world, I've found the time to put together another fantastic issue of QB Express. This is a very special issue: Not only is it the first time we've published from central Asia, it also celebrates the tenth anniversary of Pete's QB Site! Articles this month include "Before Releasing Your Game" by Nalin Kanwar; "Mini Game of the Month" by Lachie Dazdarian; a look at the Y2K bug by Moneo; an interview with Lachie by HexDude; "Kiyotewolf on a Variety of Subjects" and more. The tutorials section includes a look at CGI and also Shuffling Algorithms by Samanddeanus; Part two of Wallyfblu's Window Procedure series; "Using 7x7x16 Tricks" by Kiyotewolf; and "The Pimpl Idiom" by stylin. Not to mention all the News Briefs, the Gallery, and letters sections that you've come to expect from QBE. Read it all in QB Express #29!
