Today is: Wednesday, 12/31/25 - Product page updates: The product page now features new sections with recent releases. This includes official pages for our line of famiclone software, Express OS, and Dream Quest. - Dream Quest Released: We slowed down working on programming language projects this year quite a bit to work on developing some game products. Aside from the early release Famicom/NES roms we released, this is the first major game release we are publishing. It is also the smallest, but we put months of work into this. - Staying In Focus: We have been working mostly silently this past year. Only a few updates have been posted. Finally, we are coming out and uploading new software and updates. With this comes the new GNU/Linux distro Express OS as a custom host OS for Express BASIC. - Delayed Express BASIC Update: Update time! This one is later than expected. A server migration set us back. - One Click Network Released: This setup contains a set of GUI client and server applications. The first is called One Click Server and the other is One Click Client. - Bleeding edge update!: The update includes: 1. SPACE$() function as an alias for TAB() to help with portability of BASIC code 2. Bitwise operators BAND, BOR, and BNOT(). XOR was already bitwise 3. HEX$() and OCT$() functions - Awesome Express BASIC update!: These past weeks, many improvements and fixes were made. New features include the commands COLOR and LOCATE. String operations have also been implemented. - Massive Express BASIC update!: We have been working hard for the past few weeks on this update and have made a lot of progress. Here's a few things that have been added or fixed... - Important Update for Express BASIC: After weeks of painful research and debugging, we have finally released the next update. We're still going to remain in alpha version. You never know if and when a new problem may surface. - Express Calculator released: A command line scientific calculator for DOS, Windows, and Linux. Written in C. -
