Eggs in Qbasic

[Ralph]

When Na_th_an first posted his question, on cooking eggs in QuickBASIC, I immediately imagined two eggs in a transparent pot (Pyrex or Fireking), with water, plus a nice, flickering fire beneath it. On one side, there would be a timer, probably digital, which started at some settable value, such as 13 (minutes), and the water in the pot would start boiling after, maybe, 3 minutes. Then, when the timer reached 0, a bell would sound,the fire would die down, the water would stop boiling, and a large sign would flash on and off, with the word, "HARD-BOILED EGGS DONE", or some such sign. The sign letters would vary, say, "SOFT-BOILED EGGS DONE" for a setting of 6 minutes, "TENDER-BOILED EGGS DONE" for an 8-minute setting, etc. And, I thought, soon, before I can even light the fire, someone will show all the above. All I have to do is just wait a bit...

So, I have been waiting patiently, but, seems as if no one has the inclination to write the code. Oh, well.
