Lucid Apogee Forum

The domain is renewed. This time for 9 years. A small investment for the bigger picture. Meanwhile I just deleted ANOTHER 92 spam registrations today. There's a new batch of them every day. More and more. They keep trying to fool me, but it's not working. This forum is for clean and friendly compute...

This update includes some bug fixes and adjustments. The goal is to make this interpreter work like classic BASIC languages. The TAB() function has been added. Input now allows for a , or ; with the prompt or no prompt. A ? is displayed for no prompt or a prompt with a ;. The int function now evalua...

Hi Brian, I like the examples you've been making. This one is really special.

May I please add your examples on the Net Basic page? They would make a perfect addition to inspire creativity.

With the last update, we achieved cross platform compatibility. Now we have better memory handling. This update makes line numbers independent from the line count. With this, we have combined the 8088 and DOS editions into one. Now the DOS edition may have 2500 line count with virtually unlimited li...

We are attempting cross platform targeting. This includes Windows 11, Windows XP, Linux, or even the oldest DOS computer with an 8088 processor. Multiple compilers are involved in the development process including Borland Turbo C, Open Watcom, and DJGPP. The way things are, there's severe memory lim...

Vtech is known for educational computers. They teach children general studies including typing, math, history, science, etc. The Precomputer 1000 was released in 1988 and was aimed for children 9 and up. It has a dot matrix 20x1 LCD screen and built in keyboard that feels nice and crappy at the same...

Most of my time is spent at my new job, so I only get about an hour a day to code. Recently I discovered some issues with Commando Basic, so I spen...
