Mandelbrot Fractal Graphics (BCX basic)

A simple experiment with the ever so popular Mandelbrot fractal graphics, call it mathematical art, nice to look at. This set of experiments loops through a number of colors to make the whole thing more exciting. (View Snippet)

Play a midi music file (BCX basic)

I look at BCX-basic as a modernized qbasic. This simple code creates a Windows GUI program that plays a midi instrumental music file. To keep it simple, the file it looks for is "TheRose.mid" file. If you don't have this file, you have the option of editing the code, or simply to rename a midi... (View Snippet)

Decimal to Binary (qbasic/BCX)

One more look at BCX basic code to show the qbasic programmers how they can modernize. This shows a function that converts an integer value to a binary string. Notice that with BCX basic you need to declare your variables. Makes the code a little easier to read too. Variable, Function and Sub... (View Snippet)

Send HTML code to Internet Explorer from basic

New to me, but MS InternetExplorer does have COM support you can access from basic code. I had to test this out and make it work. We are using BCX basic, one of the successors to Qbasic. (View Snippet)

Automate Excel from basic

Another look at BCX basic. Here we use COM support to manipulate Excel. In other words, from within the basic code we are entering a few numbers into the Excel spreadsheet and add them up. Of course you can do much more powerful stuff. With COM support you can also access Word and the Internet... (View Snippet)

Print out Prime Numbers

I just had to do this to see how it would look like in the code field. This small prime number generator is written in BCX basic, a mildy more modern basic than Qbasic. With BCX basic you can throw in C and assembler code and it would actually compile it. Gives you the familiar comfort of basic,... (View Snippet)

QBasic character counter - helped by Buff
