Saying Hello

[marbac74]

Hi Everyone,
my name is Marco from Italy, I'm 49 and I am a teacher (History/Philosophy). I also like programming as an hobby, I like playing games on the PC. I have a MacBook with M2 processor and Sonoma as an OS. I'm following Terry's tutorial on how to learn QB64 and I'm really enjoying it. I registered yesterday to be more connected to the community of people who work at developing QB64PE in case of issues, questions and similar things. Up to now I downloaded two excellent games with which I played a little bit lately: Galaga, which brought so many memories of playing arcade games, and Tic Tac Toe Rings, which is in many respects a peculiar and beautiful game. I'll stay tuned and I hope I'll be making some progress with my QBasic and QB64 proficiency.
Thanks a lot for now,
Marco

Welcome to the QB64-PE forums Marco!

I always wondered if QB64-PE works correctly on macOS running on Apple Silicon. Now I know.

Hi marbac74. You've come to the right place to learn from very cool people, welcome! Now @a740g, haven't you been listening to me whine about QB64PE on M series macs for months now?      It works very well indeed.

Hello marbac74.  

Would you say "2b or NOT 2b" was a philosophical question or a precursor to the Logical Operators by G. Boolean.

Nice to have another coder from Italy aboard.

Also welcome! A philosopher. . . Interesting. Can I ask something? 

Who did the following saying come from: Intelligent and hard-working, that doesn't exist. I am intelligent and lazy myself. But God protect us from the hard-working stupid ones.

And who is it from: Irony is the final phase of disappointment.

All good things come in threes: The friends call itself sincere, the enemies are it.

No idea at all about the authors of these three quotes   I know it's weird that one might be interested in things so different like history and computers...but maybe I was curious but unsupervised so you know...doing many things without being really good at any of them

Welcome! Glad to see you joined the forum.

Tic-Tac-Toe rings is my favorite game written in QB64. I play that game at least a few times a month.
