Somebody edited the "NIBBLES.BAS" that came with QBasic long ago...
Before that, all the "FOR... NEXT" loops to do delays were commented out! So it was impossible to play the game, never mind "twiddle fingers" LOL.
BTW That program was a good example of doing graphics with text, which recalls eg. Tandy Color Computer. Much harder to do the 2x3 blocks of the TRS-80 Model III though...
Somebody might type in a QB/QBasic program into the QB64PE IDE, complete with those "FOR... NEXT" loops and then boggled by the result. "WTF this is unplayable! This sucks, this QB64 sucks and doesn't run my game right!" However, a small chance that occurs with the knowledgeable among us...
