Newbie ZX Spectrum question

[pmra]

Hi guys,

Thank you so much all for this information. I'll try to follow a path, starting with some tutorials about FreBASIC (it used to be uppercase already, thank you for reminding me) and trying some examples. I see som differences, like

Code: Select all

if...esleif

, I didn't had that one. But subs are still around, great. Even if not very advisable, so I was told.

I understand the pseudocode concept, good idea, even better if joined with OCR.

Tons of info that will take some time to absorb. And this is definetely a great place to ask for help, Thank you ALL. Let's start with it.

Translating from one language to another is something we all have to do at some time unless we program exclusively in C++ although that has also evolved over time.

Translation from language A to language B requires you are proficient in using both languages.

One nice source for language comparison is the Rosetta code collection.

Don't listen to people who tell you that - subs are great, and absolutely necessary ;-)

Great tool, thanks!
Talking about conversions, not that I know much about C, but this came up during my searches, maybe it helps someone here:

Programming is more fun than I could remenber. But also very distracting. Just like when I stumbled upon the aformentioned BASIC-to-C site. That would implie not only recalling BASIC, but also learning C. Maybe sometime...
