BASIC is a joyful little language!
my first coding book saw me attempting to input commodore BASIC V2 into microsoft QBASIC for MS-DOS 6.22, at age 9.
i am so glad i managed to return to now free commodore emulators like VICE, the simplicity of BASIC makes it highly composable.
writing a new game manages to balance nostalgia with "replayability".
