After nearly eight years (2018) on the run (away from the QB64 project) and shutting down my popular QB64 forum, I'm opening up another one. Actually, the site that will host my new QB64 forum, will also host other forums for other programming languages, except C++. That is on another domain name.
In saying this, you can't have a QB64 forum without new and exciting QB64 projects.

On a side note, press any key to increase the number of palette colors.
