GitHub - coding-horror/basic-computer-games: An updated version of the classic "Basic Computer Games" book, with well-written examples in a variety of common MEMORY SAFE, SCRIPTING programming languages. See https://coding-horror.github.io/basic-computer-games/
Saw this on Hacker News; it's an ongoing compendium of classic BASIC games, rewritten in up to 10 accepted programming languages; as well as space for "alternative" languages.
This looks incredibly cool and fun. Would be interested trying to re-write some of the games myself when I have some free time.
Said every developer.
It has only been about 44 years. I expect to have some time next week.
Indeed... :|
I did this with a BASIC game called Wizard's Castle that I played a lot of as a kid. The first step was to "reverse engineer" the manually-compressed BASIC code and write up a spec. Then I rewrote it in Rust as a learning exercise. 🙂
