0x10fI made a QBasic program that simulates objects orbiting each other, with gravity being inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Screenshots with three objects orbiting 120 degrees apart: 1. just after the start of the simulation 2. a full circle 3. non-circular orbits have created a donut shape 4. rounding the position of each object to an integer on every frame has made the orbits octagonal The program: <a href="https://pastebin.com/KPwZ0W3L" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pastebin.com/KPwZ0W3L</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/QBasic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QBasic</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#physics</a>

0x10fI generated the wheels with <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/QBasic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QBasic</a> in SCREEN 12. The resolution wasn't high enough so I only generated 45 degrees of the wheel and copied, rotated and flipped the pieces together with GNU IMP.

Ramin Honary<blockquote>My 8 year old son has fallen in love with this old laptop that honestly isn’t useful for that much as the speed and wifi is so slow.But he says he wants to learn how to code on it. </blockquote><a class="u-url mention" href="https://fosstodon.org/@codemonkeymike" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@codemonkeymike</a> yes, I would recommend learning Racket. The <a href="https://racket-lang.org/%20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Racket language</a> is relatively lightweight compared to modern app development frameworks such as VSCode so runs nice and fast on older hardware, and it is designed specifically for teaching coding.
