Code memories

Old programs I wrote during 1990-1997. I recently recovered a good portion of them from an old dusty hard drive. They are mostly written in QBasic 1.1 (or QuickBasic 4.5), Turbo Pascal 6 and 8086 Assembly. Unfortunately I don't have any of the code I wrote in 1989 on an Amstrad 6128.

My favourite resolution was mode 13h (320x200 with 256 colors).

I screengrabed them using ScreenToGif running on DOSBox to present them here.

city

lang: QBasic
name: CITY.BAS
date: 1992-10-07
mode: 13h (320x200, 256 colors)
notes: Layered drawing of a city. Each program execution produces a slightly different result.

balls

lang: QBasic
name: BALLS.BAS
date: 1997-03-23
mode: 12h (640x480, 16 colors)
notes: Balls bouncing on the boundaries of the screen. Pretty slow program (gif is sped up a bit). Thought that the problem was with the language, lol.

balls2

lang: QBasic
name: BALLS2.BAS
date: 1997-03-11
mode: 12h (640x480, 16 colors)
notes: Particles emitted from the center of the screen with basic boundaries collision detection and some semi-random gravitational movement.

fire7

lang: QBasic
name: FIRE7.BAS
date: 1997-04-??
mode: 13h (320x200, 256 colors)
notes: Bounching plasma pixels mutator with a bit of randomness and a custom palette.

font8

lang: QBasic
name: FONT_8.BAS
date: 1996-09-06
mode: 13h (320x200, 256 colors)
notes: Graphical text rendering with a bit of randomization and afterwards bending of the generated image.

fractal4

lang: QBasic
name: FRACTAL4.BAS
date: 1997-03-30
mode: 13h (320x200, 256 colors)
notes: Fractal generation with a bit of randomization and customized pallette.

glass1

lang: QBasic
name: GLASS1.BAS
date: 1997-05-22
mode: 13h (320x200, 256 colors)
