Some kind of contest.

Hey QBasic.com readers, I got an email in my inbox that I think you all might be interested in. Here it is:

Hello QBASIC (QBASIC).

We are glad to announce new contest on http://acm.sgu.ru/.

Izhevsk State Technical University Contest 3 will take place on March 22, 2009 11:00 (Moscow Time).

Also we want to remind you that Petr, Michael_Levin and VitalyGoldstein Contest (aka Petr Mitrichev Contest 4) will take place on March 15, 2009 11:00 (Moscow Time).

These contests were set earlier at the Petrozavodsk training camps. You can see details on http://acm.sgu.ru/. Do not take part in the contest if you already were solving the problems from it.

With the best wishes
    Online Contester Team.

Hopefully this contest has to do with BASIC, but I’m not sure. Enjoy!

QB64 V0.81x released (Windows & Linux)

Two new versions of QB64 (the Qbasic compatible compiler) are released today just in time to do some holiday coding. For the first time a Linux version of QB64 is available.

New in this release is the intergrated "Classic" IDE, which looks & behaves very close to Qbasic itself. The IDE was made in QB64. Both Windows & Linux versions come with the IDE.

Any suggestions?

Do any of you readers have some bright ideas about how to improve QBasic.com? I’m open to just about any suggestions, really. If this is as good as it gets…well, that’s kinda sad. There’s gotta be something that needs a fix or tweak or a completely new feature installed.

Also, if any of you readers are good writers, let me know. I’d like to have some people typing up editorials while news is slow, which it unfortunately seems to be 24/7. Leave a comment.

You guys do know how to leave comments, right?

QBasic.com Flashchat

Per burger2227’s suggestion in this thread on Pete’s QBasic Site’s forum, I’ve installed Flashchat and integrated it with Wordpress. You must have an account on Wordpress before logging into Flashchat. Use the same username and password for both scripts.

Enjoy the increased functionality and improved form that comes with a completely flash-based chat system! No Java or IRC channels are involved, so you can even use the Flashchat at work (provided work doesn’t block QBasic.com in it’s entirety).

If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know by commenting on this post.

Need RSS feeds.

Welcome to the revamped (yet again) QBasic.com.

If you know a live RSS feed from a non-defunct QBasic fansite, post it here so I can set up this place correctly. You’ll have to make an account to post a comment. It’s not hard at all, I promise.

Also, suggest some links for the sidebar if you’ve got any really good ones.
