freeBASIC Tutorial #2

     FreeBASIC is a programming language very similar to Microsoft's quickBASIC, but has many differences. FreeBASIC can actually be a powerful language.

     If two people were working on the same program at the same time, they can create different source files and compile them together. For this simple hello world program you write this code:

                                                Hello.bas
                                      1. 1
                                      2. color (c)
                                      3. print "Hello world"
                                      4. sleep 300

    If a friend wrote that, insted of copy and pasting into your source file you can do this:

                                               World.bas
                                       1. #include "Hello.bas"
                                       2. c = c + 1
                                       3. if multikey(&h01) then goto 2
                                       4. goto 1
                                       5. 2

    This is a simple way to combine multiple source files similar to different calsses in the Java programming language.
