Remember programming in BASIC? Remember the “PLAY” statement? If you’re anything like me you’ve got some old songs written that you haven’t listened to for a while. I was feeling nostalgic a couple months ago and wanted to listen to some of my songs. I didn’t have a computer running Windows available to run my BASIC programs (in QBASIC/PDS), and I couldn’t trivially find a good BASIC interpreter for Linux that supported the PLAY statement. Therefore… I wrote my own PLAY statement interpreter, called BasicPlay! Source code is available (licensed under the GPL) here. BasicPlay supports conversion of the PLAY statement to Interactive C code (for upload to a device such as a Handyboard). BasicPlay can also render PLAY statements to WAVE sound files. Let me know what you think!
