I have recently returned to Qbasic after many years.
I never used SUBs before but I am attempting to learn and use them as I think they will make the code cleaner.
I moved some code from the main code to a SUB and it appears labels or line numbers are not allowed in a SUB?
I looked in the help and I don't see any place in the documentation that says this will not work.
Can someone explain if I need to do something different or why this would not work?
Code: SUB init
KEY 16, CHR$(0) + CHR$(1)
ON KEY(16) GOSUB foo
KEY(16) ON
foo:
print "you did it"
END SUB
I get an error of "Label not defined" when I try to run the code.
Thank you for your help.

New forum looks nice! Um, anybody here though?
I was doing some nostalgia clicking, and I noticed QBOHO was in pretty bad shape:
http://www.qbasicnews.com/qboho/
I scraped that together years ago with a python script that parsed the rtf output of HELPMAKE.EXE and dumped it into a bunch of HTML files, which wildcard translated and uploaded. It used the IE-only "terminal" font, tables,   padding, and other horrors to replicate that loving "DOS" look, and it's all horribly broken now of course.
Nowadays browser support for Unicode, custom fonts, CSS, etc. is much better. Even the QuickHelp tooling is better. I found this C# tool which already converts quickhelp files to UTF-8 encoded HTML:
https://github.com/fancidev/DosHelp
So I wrote another Python script to reprocess that a bit further. I used one of the fonts from here:
https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/
And then packed everything into one CSS-only HTML page that uses anchor links to jump between topics, and the :target selector to show one topic at a time. Having only one page should make it a little easier to embed somewhere else. Sure, it's a 1.2MB but since it's all whitespace and English, that gzips down to 240kb. And the average webpage is 3MB so who cares?
Anyway, the result:
https://parkertomatoes.github.io/qboho/
https://github.com/parkertomatoes/parker...ster/qboho
Possible to get it updated here?

It's been a long while since the last update to the website but I've finally checked the links on the front page. It's unfortunate several high profile sites are no longer working or have been replaced with spam or unrelated content. If you notice anything wrong or looking strange on the website please leave a comment below or email me. Qbasic may be a little less popular than it used to be but I'm keen to keep this site running well even if it's a little quiet.

His wife has cervical cancer and he's being forced to sell his property to pay medical expenses. You guys know him and how good of a person he is. How many of us has he tutored for free? Let's show him how much we appreciate that. Not only that, but it's just love. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I've gotten so close to him over the years, he's like my brother. Let's see how much we can help. Please contribute if you can. Don't feel bad if you can't.

I am wondering, are there any old articles/pages talking about the history of qbasic scene, when the communities were formed, what were the highlights of each year, and all that? I do remember reading one such article about 3d graphics in quickbasic, describing some early years I didn't know (like first triangle rasterizer at 1992 running on 286 at good speed)Â and later years with demos or game engines I remember and was impressed. Now I am curious about the same for games that were highlights of the year, maybe some stories, the QB is long dead and forgotten and it will make me happy to read some old or newer articles describing how was the community during earlier or later years.
