QB64 is a modern extended BASIC programming language that combines the best of both classic and contemporary features.
It serves as a successor to Microsoft’s QuickBasic, which was popular in the 1980s and 1990s.
QB64 retains the familiar integrated development environment (IDE) from the original QuickBasic, making it easy for those who cut their teeth on BASIC to transition.
The language is nearly 100% compatible with QuickBasic source code from decades ago, allowing old programs to load, compile, and run seamlessly.
However, QB64 also introduces hundreds of new powerful commands and enhancements to take advantage of today’s high-powered computer systems1.

Key Features of QB64:

Compatibility: QB64 is compatible with most QuickBasic 4.5 code, ensuring a smooth transition for existing BASIC programmers.
Extensions: It adds several extensions, such as OpenGL and other modern features, making it suitable for both classic and contemporary program development.
Cross-Platform: QB64 is available for recent versions of Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Fun and Easy: The language aims to recapture the joy of early BASIC programming while incorporating modern capabilities.
