The Tech Stuff will be programs I made using some different programming languages…
HTML:
Now HTML has been around for a while, and it is growing popular as the years go by. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. An HTML file is a small file that contains tags for your web page. The tags tell the web browser how to display the page to everyone who sees it. Also, a HTML file must have an extension of .htm or .html on it. The great thing about HTML is that you can edit or make new HTML files using a simple text editor like Notepad.
Projects coming soon!
QBASIC:
QBASIC was one of the first programming languages to make games or applications on computers. Code entered into the IDE is compiled to an intermediate form, and this intermediate form is immediately interpreted on demand within the IDE. I took QBASIC as a junior in high school and although it was old and you can’t really do much with it, it was still fun to learn.
You can make a bunch of different things with QBASIC. Whether it is an old version of blackjack or just music, it is still interesting to do. Here are a few examples of what you can do with QBASIC:
-
- Matrix Code
- The Matrix Code is something very simple to master. You can change how fast each one goes, and what color you want it to be. Link
-
- Tetris Music
- You can also use QBASIC to make certain music, a friend of mine made a complete library, these were a few. Link
Visual Basic:
Visual Basic is an updated form of QBASIC where you can do more things, but it also gets a little bit more complicated. I took Visual Basic my senior year in high school using Visual Basic 6 and I came up with some cool products. They weren’t the most concrete, but it was something very different. It is a programming language that people can use to make games, components, and basically anything it has access to. It currently is in competition with C++ and Java.
Projects coming soon!
