DS development > Qbasic --> Pokemon CMQ?

#71819 - zzo38computer - Tue Feb 14, 2006 6:10 pm

Is there a way to convert QBASIC to C/C++ with custom function mapping to make the Pokemon CMQ game work on Nintendo DS?

Can't imagin it would be very hard.

You could also try to write a Basic interpreter for the DS.

Or compiler, so you can compile QBASIC program to DS. But, this program act slightly differently in computer or DS. For example, on the computer there isn't any graphics only text, on DS there must be graphical tiles. On the DS some things can be selected by the touch-screen. On the computer on QBASIC there is no Japanese text, so it will have to use romaji, but on DS, the Japanese names for the pokemons can be written using katakana instead, and english name using english alphabets. There has to be some kind of code to indicate differences between DS and computer game. And how would I start making this program anyways?

I only started making it so far! I should include codes for the DS in there as well, starting with '# or something like that so that it is ignored by Qbasic and the DS compiler will look at it.

that just seems silly to make a cpp and bas file into 1
