Sometimes I like to prototype stuff in QBASIC.
For anyone who's interested, here's a small physics engine I created in the past two days using QB64.
Hopefully I'll be able to port it to B4A without any problems.
Note: I don't know how to use timers with precision in QBASIC, so I'm using a FOR...NEXT cycle as a workaround. You'll have to adjust the cycle_speed value to your PC:
Looking forward for your opinions!
