Mister so-called C++ teacher, Aurel? You are so jealous that I am way smarter and a better coder then you!
This so called teacher, as you say, teaches nearly 100k people in over 120 countries and has book publishers and other companies after me! Can you say that? No! You can't because you are nothing compared to me!
So go ahead! Make fun of me! Belittle me! That's what all you jokers in the BASIC communities are good at, and why we "haters" all left! However, just remember that I am the one having the last laugh at your expense!

Mr. Whitman,
I do not know you at all, except by name only, and therefore I am unable ascertain your strength of character. But, without knowing me personally, you have by inference, included me in your statement, "That's what all you jokers in the BASIC communities are good at..."
I am unaware of any grievance that you may have with either Aurel or 'this' particular Basic community but I would encourage you to be more civil in dealing with 'this' community.

I wasn't talking about you personally, as you are not a "joker". Let me just say, there are a lot of good people in the BASIC communities, like yourself, but there are a lot of bad apples in those communities as well. It is those bad apples I am referring to.
I do have an issue with "Aurel" directly, but it's not something I will discuss at the moment. As you can see from Aurel's last comment, he admits that he rather make fun of and belittle me, as well as many others, which he admits he and the others are best at, instead of just having decent conversations about programming.
My C++ Facebook group and Discord server are thriving, and not once do we have anyone belittling, degrading, laughing at, stealing from, or just down-right being ugly too anyone else, like you constantly see in many of the BASIC communities like QB64 and FreeBasic.
This community, as you put it, was actually created by "CodeHunter" in hopes of having a better experience in the BASIC community, but he chose to walk away from it, which is sad.
To be honest, my attacks are against those who have wronged myself and my friends in the QB64 communities and the FreeBasic communities. For me personally, the wounds I received from the QB64 community, primarily from Fellippe, Luke, Steve McNeil, and Bill (STxAxTIC), are very deep, though most people have no idea why.
Now, as far as my comments being civil, they are actually way more civil then what we received from the QB64 and FreeBasic communities. I'm always happy to be civil, but the scars still itch.
Let me clarify, my anger is only towards those who had done myself and my friends wrong, not towards the products themselves, though QB64 should be rewritten from scratch because it is built on bug-infested and antiquated coding. I even stated in 2014 that QB64 should be rewritten from scratch. Well, now that I am no longer a part of that community, I have decided to create a clone of QB64, that will be included in my new project, ModernBasic 128 Studio. Yes, I still love BASIC. Until I build my new computer early next year (when I get my tax refunds in), I am unable to work the modern PC parts of it. Currently, I am working on the Raspberry Pi version, the Android version, and the web version. While it primarily will be based on OpenGL 4.5+, Vulkan, OpenGLES 3.x, due to popular demand, it will also use OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGLES 2.x. This means that ModernBasic 128 Studio will run on machines built in 2010 and later. I have several other "professional" developers who will be helping in this project as well.
ModernBasic 128 Studio will be a FLOSS product, so anyone can help with modifying it.
ModernBasic 128 Studio will come with five programming languages: RetroBasic, RetroBasicX, QB128, QB128x, and ModernBasic. RetroBasic will be based on QBasic 4.5 and 7.1. The RetroBasicX will be an extended version of it. QB128 will be a clone of QB64 (coded the right way and for modern machines), and QB128x will be an extended version. ModernBasic 128 will be a language of my own creation.

Walter... May I call you Walter?
I feel I may have come across as a little harsh. If I have caused offense then I apologize.
Thank you for the clarification. As your disputes are with others, I will not discuss or encourage you to discuss, the aforementioned issues with myself. I do not feel that our current degree of familiarity qualifies myself to be included as a confidant. Besides, I am quite familiar with re-opening old wounds... I hope that one day those disputes may be resolved...
In regards to your projects: I look forward to your clone of QB64. I have and always will be a huge fan of Basic. SDLBasic since 2007. The last few years with RCBasic and QB64. I am in no position to offer any assistance, as I am not a programmer, but a tinkerer. I have used a lot of Basics but mastered none... lol
We have a short but severe thunderstorm coming in. Best to get offline and power down... Sorry to cut off so short....

@johnno
Yes, you may call me Walter. Everyone else does. Or, if you want, you can call me The Joyful Programmer, or Waltersmind as well, as those are nicknames I go by as well. Either way, none of it bothers me.
I did not take your comments as "harsh", but thank you for being respectful.
I had no intentions of revisiting "old wounds", but what I mentioned was for demonstrative purposes only. To get a point across, if you know what I mean. Those issues no longer bother me personally, because of ModernBasic 128 Studio. I used to love QB64 and what it represented, but I can no longer put love into a project that is poorly written and maintained by not-so-nice people whom hasn't fixed the major issues in the product after all these years, that I was able to fix in a weeks time in my copies of the project.
However, I will not forget what QB64 had meant to me ever since 2009, plus all the greatness, pleasures, enjoyments, and fun it had provided me for all those years. I had stated since 2014, when I taught the community how to add their own commands into the language, that QB64 needed to be rewritten from scratch, and I am still a firm believer in that. However, I will not recreate a product that I have no control over, and potentially other people take the credit for. As such, I thought it would be great to recreate it under a new name (QB128), and in a current project I have been working on for the last two years (ModernBasic 128 Studio).
QB64 uses OpenGL 1.1, which is fine for extremely old computers, but I chose to use OpenGL 4.5 and later (possibly OpenGL 3.3 as well), Vulkan, OpenGLES 2 and OpenGLES 3, to provide better graphical performances, as-well-as more powerful graphic capabilities. With QB128, you will be able to compile to PC (Windows, Linux, and Raspbian), Android devices, and the web.
QB128 will be a clone of QB64, but QB128x (QB128-Extreme) will be more modern. Many keywords will be replaced with better ones, and there will not be any underscored commands. Basically, QB128x will be how I envision QB128 should be.
Being a "tinkerer" is perfect! The Joyful Programmer is dedicated to working with and teaching computer programming hobbyists, tinkerers, amateurs, and enthusiasts.
The issues I have with you are the colorful comments you have made to me and about me. Now, if you made all your comments out fun (as a joke), then I stand down on my issues with you. The comments you made felt like you were trying to bash me, belittle me, and be the same negativity like those from the QB64 community, and I wasn't going to stand for those anymore.
Of course the QB64 community doesn't like FreeBasic! FreeBasic is way better then QB64 ever thought of, and it is written way more professionally.
