A lot of what I would have used C or Assembly for years back is now native to QB64. We've got native mouse use, decent graphics support, and memory galore. Do you want to import a file...well that's covered too.
Two or three decades ago being good at my job required programming but I wasn't officially a programmer but I needed the skills to get access to hardware and files formats. I'd test routines in QBasic and PowerBasic before converting them over to C/C++ and I while I look back on those days with nostalgia, I also wouldn't want to do that again.
Dig into the documentation. Find some old books on QuickBasic programming that cover the full-featured compiler options they'll explain library use.
