Amiga Basic
« on: January 07, 2009, 10:55:14 PM »
Long ago I wrote a little Amiga Basic program for a game called Master Mind. Now I'm an old newbie. How can I get my old program to run on my PC?

Thanks for all the ideas.

I have an emulator, but I'm new to it. How would I get Amiga Basic running on my emulator?

I'm liking the idea of re-writing for Windows because then I could share it more easily. I was able to get a six page printout of the program. After a text-scan and few fixes, I have the program in text form. Except for possibly the SAY and SOUND commands, I would guess that it's close to being compatible to several of the easier languages.

I found Liberty Basic. Heard of that?

Meanwhile I'll still be looking for more old games for the emulator...

The graphics and sounds in my program were minimal. It's basically a text-based mind-teaser game. I was able to get it running in Liberty Basic and now I'm looking into Run Basic ... because I'd like to get on the web and play it with my cell phone. Unfortunately, I put goto statements all over the place so as far as coverting this particular program to JavaScript ... I think I'll pass.
