I just got certainly annoyed of that nobody pays any attention to me here at least at programming side. So here is the challenge: I made the best music software written entirely in QB ever! It is up to you to prove that this is not true! It is Pure QB FM Midiplayer, can be downloaded from my homepage, can be run with DOSBox, or anything FM capable. It was 100% programmed on a 30MHz 4.86 computer, to prove it's efficiency, download those parts from Island of Cheetah to hear it in the practice! (It worked on the 4.86 too)
The rules:
The program must be coded entirely in QBasic, you can not use any external libraries. The only thing what you may use is the basic library, but only for calling interrupts (My MIDI player not uses it)
It have to run smoothly with DOSBox: it must not require more than at about 66MHz to function.
Nothing else. The challenge is open for as long as you wish, for any program fitting to these requirements. It can use any music hardware what can be at least emulated (PC Speaker, FM, or any other Sound Blaster related ect.). It is a good point if it can be made working with retro games (Any way: by building in the source or by using a common fileformat ect.). So it not needs to be music player either, it can be sequencer, or whatever music related.

fter 60 million years a civilization will search for a meteorite destroying most of the living creatures around this age...
