Port it to brain**** and I might be interested...

Seriously, I owe a great deal of debt to early games and graphics programs I wrote in QBasic... Quite fun back in the day. I really wonder what kids these days start in, and if they have as much fun, as other languages seem to have much higher barriers to entry. Someone is going to say "Java" or "Visual Basic" or "Python", but really they are still a great deal more complex and quirky (or hard to discover) than QB. I often judge a language by how many lines of code it takes to get a fullscreen graphics mode and draw a few lines on the screen :)
