QBASIC book by Tony Hawken (and maybe other resources too)

Yikes, it's been a long time since my last post. I haven't forgotten about this place though.

I'm currently more focused on Python programming, but I've also got a book on the go about Amstrad CPC "Locomotive" BASIC. So many types of programming out there! Lol

How are you coming along with that Maximite? I purchased one about a year ago and have yet to find the time to play around with it. What piqued my interest is the claim it can chew through 270,000 lines of code per second, interpreted, not compiled.

The 8-bit guy did on video on the Maximite 2 (that has been sold out for 2 years now, the one I really wanted): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA7REQxohV4





I haven't used it for a little while, however earlier today I set it up with a monitor in a more convenient place so I intend to play around with it again. It's a nice little device, and yeah it does seem quick, but I don't know exactly how quick. 

Yeah the Maximite 2 seems cool. Mine is the Colour Maximite (1), I believe there was a black-and-white version before that if memory serves. 

MMBASIC seems to have a lot in common with QBASIC, but also significant differences. You probably remember that the 8-bit guy made a Tetris game in MMBASIC in a matter of hours, even though he wasn't familiar with MMBASIC beforehand. That said, I think he said that much of that time involved getting used to the differences.
