Expanding Horizons using MCUs - nunzi8 - 09-06-2024

I have just recently come across "QB64PE" (a very great project)
I don't know its internals and I was wondering:
if it was possible to run it on a MCU like "Rasperry pi pico", "ESP32" "STM32", ...

Obviously making some compromises, for example without compiling to machine code... or without OpenGL.

Best Regards.
Nunzio

The short answer is no. Maybe if you spent enough time you could rip out enough of the `libqb` C++ code to get something minimal that works but it would be a lot of work and there's no guarantee you could actually get something functional. QB64-PE really just isn't designed for such a constrained environment.

bbc basic should run on the PI zero or maybe even the pico
