David Ahl's Basic Computer Games Ported to C
A developer has ported classic GW-BASIC games from David Ahl's books into the C programming language. The project is open-source and intended as a learning tool for those interested in debugging and retro-computing.
Why it matters
It preserves historical software while providing a practical, hands-on environment for developers to practice debugging and cross-platform compilation.
These haven't been tested, validated, debugged, or verified! Use at your own risk: Yes, I used Google Anti-Gravity to convert the programs from GW-BASIC to 'C', but what a better learning tool than to debug a program?
