I'm an old gameplayer and as such know basic pretty well.At work I have written a few basic games (hangman,Connect4 and suchlike).What I would like to be able to do is use my basic programming skills on my gp32.mayle a util that converts the old Dos QBasic into a gp32 executable file.If we can emulate a gameboy maybe someone could write something to emulate pc qbasic or convert it?Anyone know if this is possible-there must be a lot of basic programmers out there who could write some great content for the gp32.
 
Would be a great idea m8...What we REALLY need is Blitz Basic for the GP32 :D
 
Well, two options...

1) Basic emulator for GP32
2) Convert your Basic to C with a converter (many are available), then compile the C with your devkit, after modification.

Personally I despise Basic as it gave me a horrible foundation of programming knowledge, real languages are totally different in structure and format, memory management is more important, etc, etc... I strongly suggest you learn C, it's not hard to learn if you know Basic (except for maybe pointers), runs faster than interpreted Basic, and it generally cooler.

Would there be any chance of this with BlitzMax's CPU targetting? I know Mark, the maker, is targetting PC and Mac CPU architectures, but is it still possible for peopel to write targetters for other CPUs?
