for those of you who want to jump straight into the question, basically...
i'm looking for a programming environment thats essentially just like qbasic but can compile using more memory.
for the longer explanation... ive been writing a game in Qbasic (4.5) and ive reached a point where i cant add anything without getting a "OUT OF MEMORY" error when i compile. so what next?
as for what ive done so far, i tried downloading some other compilers. i was hoping visual basic was similar, but its not... i tried a compiler called rapidQ, but i didnt understand it at all (although i cant say i spent much time there...) and i tried freebasic, which claims to be just like Qbasic, but i couldnt even get to the command prompt for it. after installing it and running the shortcut it puts on my desktop it only opens a dos command prompt, and i tried running every .exe in the folder and they all seem to do nothing.
basically i just want to be able to finish this little project of mine without having to learn a whole new programming language. i dont understand much about compilers im finding, but i just want something that can run my code. which id love to link for you if you're interested! but there doesnt seem to be an attachment option...
anyway any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!
