Hey guys, I don't think that this is possible, but if it is I would appreciate some help with it. I was just wondering if it was possible to create sort of an on-line qbasic thingy.... You know, that you could go onto the site and program a qbasic program without having qbasic on your system!?

I m always willing to show off the the many people who find it 'fascinating' that I can program my own games, but now all the time you can't even find CPROMPT on any XP comps hardly anymore, and even if you can QBASIC no longer comes standard with it...

So, if anyone knows if it is even remotely possible to do this, you could respond to this forum or EMAIL ME
Nova@edgeemu.com
It might be awhile before I have the oppurtunity to get back to you but if the chance arrises I would be glad to take it. Thank you much.

only possible if you managed to program an internet plugin that is quickbasic's equivalent. which by most standards is impossible. sorry.

actually, for it to be perfect you'd have to program a virtual machine.

the only other way i can think of is to create a script to compile a command line script and send it back over in .exe form, where the user could download and open it. you'd have to have your server set up to run 16-bit dos programs though.

That would be pretty difficult I think. I found a java Basic-interpreter once. When you go to the site, a javascript window pops up (the interpreter) and you can feed it your basic lines. Forgot where I saw it though. It was only a text thing, but worked cool.

I think Toshi was working on a java QB compiler thing-a-ma-jig once.

(Btw, you posted this topic to another area. In the future please post a topic only once, and in only one area. If it's in the wrong place we can move it)

Anyway, Interesting idea nova. Smile

I locked this topic. Its more appropriate to go where the other topic was started. http://forum.qbasicnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=2049 is that other topic.
