BASIC interpreter / compiler?

ChocolatePi

Hi, I'm reading some really old books from the 80s about the basic programming language, and I'm looking for a compiler. I can't find anything official.

You won't find an “official” BASIC compiler. Different computers had different versions that were usually made by the computer manufacturer or another company such as Microsoft. You could try to find a copy of Microsoft QBasic (or QuickBASIC). If you prefer a modern dialect with GUI programming, try Microsoft Visual Basic.

My browser / operating system: Macrosoft Winding XO, Internet Exploder 6.0, Angel Player ver.:1.2.5

I hate GUI programming, so I'll get QuickBasic. I shall look it up now.

Sorry, I'm a noob. I looked up telehack and it was a command line thing hosted on a website. It looks interesting. What can I do there?
EDIT: searched google for “telehack basic” and found out you can run .bas files on there. Thanks!

I'm working on a Commodore BASIC interpreter. I'll be updating it to support all of the different versions, and may add more to it, but when it first releases it'll be Commodore BASIC V2.
