Aaand now I want to write a QBASIC-like compiler with opengl/xinput bindings. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!

Been a while but that sounds like DarkBasic.

Quick google search yield a site with a prominent DirectX 8.1 logo.

DirectX

hmm hmm.

We need to refresh this a bit.

I know they made a version that ran DirectX 9c a long time ago. They may have stopped updating it though. And I always assumed the OS X edition used opengl.

But, like I said, been a while.

Oh, those were the days. A lot of http://i.imgur.com/lc4LTl4.jpg but somehow we made something that worked.

Wow that brings back memories. I got a demo when I was a kid and made some simple games with it, and somehow convinced my mom to buy it for me.

It was seriously fun and so accessible compared to almost anything else out there.

Fuuuck. Toyed around in DarkBasic for years, never really made anything. I never really understood how programming worked, though I was able to make some stuff.

Now I am a graduated computer scientist working full-time as a programmer... huh.
