I would have written "Goodbye world!" myself

but then again that could be taken as suicidal

I would have written "Goodbye world!" myself

That's what I was intending to write at first.

but then again that could be taken as suicidal

...And that's precisely why I didn't!

10 Print "HA"

GOTO 10

My god, are we all nerds here on OCR or what?

10 Print "HA"

20 GOTO 10

fixed that for you

Well, I tried at least.

Last time I programmed was like 14 years ago

QBASIC text adventures are the zenith of creativity.

So is this a R.I.P. thread or a "He's to blame for us!" thread?

Either way R.I.P. good sir.

Wow, this has me kind of stunned. I knew he had a hand in UNIX but I didn't know he was involved in C, which I guess I should have known. Another brilliant mind has passed, but his legacy is beyond that merely of computing genius. His influence has created a whole new generation of brilliant tech people who will carry on that collaborative computing philosophy for ages to come.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

printf( "This is not the end, but just another beginning. \n" );

getchar();

return 0;

}

Actually, in QBasic and beyond, line numbers (or names; pretty sure named targets were introduced in QBasic) are only needed for destinations of goto instructions, so depending on the version, his code might be right

I thought I was doing it right... regardless, this guy enabled video games, so I respect him in life and in death.

ohok

the only version of BASIC I ever learned was PBASIC anyway
