calamari Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hi, It's been a while! How is everyone doing? I've been busy with school and work. My ISP also decided it will shut down next month, so I found another (that's hopefully even better!) and my pages have all been copied over. If you go to the old pages (at least for now) there will be a link to my new homepage. I also took the opportunity to reorganize my webpage directory tree, so the links will be a little different than before. Homepage: http://lilly.csoft.net/~jeffryj 5200BAS page: http://lilly.csoft.net/~jeffryj/5200bas/5200bas.html Radial Pong: http://lilly.csoft.net/~jeffryj/projects/radial.html I am considering registering a domain name in case this happens again, any suggestions for getting one cheap? calamari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I am considering registering a domain name in case this happens again, any suggestions for getting one cheap? We've had good luck with DirectNIC, and they charge $15 for a year. Thanks for the new URLs, I'll make sure any links on AtariAge are updated appropriately. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamari Posted March 4, 2003 Author Share Posted March 4, 2003 That DirectNIC looks good.. I'll have to do that sometime Thanks, calamari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamari Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi, I've moved servers again, but my kidsquid.com addresses are still going, so this move will only affect those using http://lilly.csoft.net/~jeffryj/ Simply replace that with http://kidsquid.com/ and you're all set. calamari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MausBoy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm really wondering how 5200BAS compares to Batari BASIC. It would be cool to port some of my games to the 5200 so I'll have to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I can't seem to download 5200 BASIC. When's it going to be available? JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I can't seem to download 5200 BASIC. When's it going to be available? JR 5200bas isn't being developed anymore, but I downloaded it some time ago to see how it was designed. I'll post the .zip here. Unfortunately the source has never been released, so it only helped me a little bit. 5200bas.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMan Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I downloaded bas5200 and played with it for a while, great fun with quick results. Calamari should really let someone else take over to maintain it or maybe even develop it further. It's a shame to let something like this die. /P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll see it developed further. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll see it developed further. Allan Sorry you guys! I really didn't mean to let it go like this. I certainly didn't mean for it to be considered dead. Please, send me an e-mail next time! 5200BAS is still available on my website, here: http://kidsquid.com/old/compilers/5200bas/5200bas.html Due to this thread, I've put the source there as well, but you aren't going to like it! I wrote it in QuickBasic Extended, and I had to hack around some MS-DOS limitations. The code is a huge mess. My personal preference would be to see the compiler ported to Java or ANSI C. I started on a Java port some time ago, but I cannot find it now. Check the included README for more information about the source code release. So, good luck, and enjoy!

SeaGtGruff Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 5200BAS is still available on my website, here: http://kidsquid.com/old/compilers/5200bas/5200bas.html Due to this thread, I've put the source there as well, but you aren't going to like it! I wrote it in QuickBasic Extended, and I had to hack around some MS-DOS limitations. The code is a huge mess. My personal preference would be to see the compiler ported to Java or ANSI C. Another possibility might be to use FreeBASIC, which is very similar to QuickBASIC, but has more commands and is more Windows-friendly. That way, you could clean up the code without having to do an extensive rewrite for Java or C. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/ http://www.freebasic.net/ Michael Rideout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
