G'day,

An itch I decided to scratch, I'm putting together some info about BASIC implementations/dialects, particularly focused on a "Comparison Matrix."

Do you have suggestions for more categories or features I should add to the matrix that would be good info in general, and/or thing that particularly favour QB64?

Alphabetical order, but chopped off in the screenshot.  Easier to see the full guacamole by accessing the wiki.

I've attached another screenshot.

Did you consider adding TinyBasic to your list. Another one is MMBasic. Would I be right in thinking that BASIC V is included under BBC BASIC?

For sure.  I want to eventually have all of them in there.  Current, dead, all of them.

Might take me a while.  So many interests and projects, so little time.

Thank-you for the suggestions.  I'm going to have to show my appreciation by getting those two at least listed ASAP.

I added a few extra BASIC dialects, added an "Advanced Features" grouping of categories, and some (see attachment) cosmetic changes.

If there's any additions/changes you'd like to suggest, drop me a reply.

So many chores I should be doing, so many more reasons now to further procrastinate.

That is a mighty fine list of resources to lose myself in.  Thanks !

That's just me being OCD!
So much info out there, and I love those wikipedia comparison pages, all sorts of useful and useless info to waste your time!  Big Grin
