think i've figured out how i wanna do sound effects in my #QBasic engine.

@eniko Btw, it doesn't have to be 18.2. Yuo can reconfigure the timer interrupt generator.
@riley yeah, except its finicky and can mess stuff up so i'd rather not

@eniko Oh, and I think Microsoft released the QBasic interpreter's source code some time ago, if that would help.

@brouhaha Maybe I misremembered, then.
In any case, the differences between these two would likely be in the user interface and the subsystem for distinct subs and functions, and probably not much in the way they speak to the PC hardware.

I thought QBASIC was compiled, but I just looked it up. While it was based on QuickBASIC, it lacked QuickBASIC's compiler.
Having never used any of these (except maybe by using DOS EDIT on rare occasions), I suppose it's not surprising that I have some misconceptions.
Back when these were current, I mostly used Turbo Pascal, and a little later, Turbo C. I still feel like those were an improvement over many of their successors. -

@riley did they?

@eniko Probably not :(
I thought I had a copy, but I dug it up, and it is for GW-BASIC instead indeed.

think i've figured out how i wanna do sound effects in my #QBasic engine. gonna make a tool that lets me author sounds with 30 square waves slices per second, with each slice having a frequency and volume
then i can play those using an OPL channel by updating every (other) frame
and i can export a PC speaker PLAY string for 18.2fps mode or machines without soundblaster that has 60 notes per second and plays in the background and use pulse width modulation to set 4 discrete volume levels
@eniko What you're doing seems likely to intersect something that I've been working on. If you publish any code, I'd be interested in reading it.

If anyone says "no, but I keep a *tumbler* of water by the bed when I sleep" that's an instant block.

Iran: tornano a soffiare venti di guerra sul paese. gli usa sarebbero pronti a scatenare la guerra
@anarchia
Venti di guerra soffiano sull’ Iran. L’esercito USA si è messo “in posizione” per un possibile attacco, riferiscono funzionari del Pentagono e della Casa Bianca al NYT sostenendo al contempo che Donald Trump non ha ancora preso una

@Fighen Sono rimasto sbalordito. Secondo me è stata tutta una trovata di @gino per sponsorizzare la sua istanza 😅

@rocketsoup Yes. But also like this.
