Porting QBasic to C

My first programming language was QBasic. When I was young I created many trivial games and programs which are now featured on my website. The problem is that the QBasic compiler I used compiled the code to work on DOS platforms only. I would like my games to be usuable on Win32 platforms and Unix/Linux platforms. Is it possible to translate QBasic code to C or Java and are there any free tools for achieving this?

If you want to use C or Java, you'll need to port them... which means that you need to learn the languages. :lol:


However, there is an alternative. GOTO http://forum.qbasicnews.com/ , register and click on the freeBasic forum. It's a QB syntax compatible win32 compiler. It's still in development, but very promising. Windows programming with the ease of BASIC syntax... It doesn't get much better than that! ;)
