I think, some directive like MEM or MEMORY to define amount of memory in kilobytes should be fine.
Code: MEM 640 Code: MEMORY 640 |

Hi Carlopiza, thanks for the interest. It's still, a closed source project, unfortunately.

Hi MatQuasar3,
Thank you for the feedback and the screenshots. Tip for Room 3: The red boxes should be pulled (not pushed). If you stand next to it and move in the opposite direction it will follow you. |

Of course, you have to calculate and create spaces. Things get more difficult (and tighter) later. Press key 4 to undo a move.

Hello everyone,
New console-based puzzle games have been added to the Hobby BASIC folder. 🔹 Gravibox is a challenging puzzle game where you push "gravity" blocks. Original concept by Orcenhaze (Gravicrate) 🔹 Kaima is an arcade-style puzzle game. Original concept by Alex Huang (Kaima Bad Ending Gaiden) 🔹 Pushpull is a Sokoban-inspired game featuring 15 challenging push-pull levels. Original concept by increpare (15 push pull levels) 🔹 Magnets is a fast-paced arcade puzzle game featuring 5 distinct worlds and 51 rooms to explore. Original concept by pxlforge (Magnets) 🔹 2DWorld is a small prototype that demonstrates random procedural world generation. Hobby BASIC screenshots (Windows 10 console).     
📝 Notes on The Games The WIN10 folder contains a curated selection of puzzle games inspired by or remakes of PuzzleScript titles. I am currently adapting these clever, short games into Hobby BASIC to build a compact gaming library. Please note that I do not work with PuzzleScript; all Hobby BASIC ports are written entirely from scratch. The intellectual property and original ideas belong strictly to their respective developers. I strive to maintain the highest quality standards, ensuring these adaptations fully respect the original creations. Last edited by Picnic on 01 Jul 2026, 22:29; edited 8 times in total |

Hello everyone,
New console-based puzzle games have been added to the Hobby BASIC folder. 🔹 In Blocktrix, the player must create a path between the starting (yellow) block and the finishing (white) block. Original concept by CHCH (Blockon) 🔹 Icy Blocks is a fun puzzle game where you push boxes, seal holes, and reach the goal! Original concept by Tyler Glaiel (IceCrates) 🔹 In Crystal, all blocks of the same color are lined up next to each other. Original concept by Riza Purwo Nugroho (Eliminator in Java) 🔹 QUIX is an original Hobby BASIC game. Hobby BASIC screenshots (Windows 10 console). 
📝 Notes on The Games Since the beginning of 2025, efforts have been underway to improve some of the newer examples in Hobby BASIC. Going forward, the goal is to ensure that new code is not only more readable but also better aligned with the capabilities of the interpreter. I've decided to showcase some of the small puzzle games I've written using Hobby BASIC and add them to my previous posts in this thread, taking advantage of the fact that the forum allows you to edit your posts. I realize that this might not be the ideal approach, as it creates a discontinuity in the conversation and makes it seem like other members' posts haven't been replied to or might have been ignored by me, which is definitely not the case. However, I preferred to update my existing posts rather than creating new ones frequently, so I could present the puzzles more efficiently.

Original concept by Frpzzd (Some lines were meant to be crossed) 🔹 In Bitcoin Miner, you must dig your way through the landfill and collect the bitcoins. Original concept by Roman Werner (Bitcoin Miner C64) Hobby BASIC screenshots (Windows 10 console).

In the upcoming Hobby BASIC release I’ve a implemented a lightweight FPU string math library (no more manual conversions).
Here’s a little teaser: a rainbow‑coloured sine‑wave demo (SINWAVE.BAS) that uses only FSIN, FMUL, FADD, FROUND etc. on string operands to draw a smooth, animated wave in ASCII. Stay tuned for the full set of routines. Code:
! SINWAVE.BAS
! Hobby BASIC Interpreter
! Part of the Hobby BASIC examples collection.
view 7
cursor 0
cols = 80
rows = 60
screen cols, rows, 0
cls
amp$ = FROUND(FDIV(rows, "3"), "NEAREST")
midline$ = FROUND(FDIV(rows, "2"), "INT")
scale$ = "0.2"
for t = 0 to 200
redraw 0, 0, cols, rows, "*", " "
for x = 0 to cols - 1
phase$ = FADD(x, t)
angle$ = FMUL(phase$, scale$)
y$ = FMUL(FSIN(angle$), amp$)
y$ = FROUND(y$, "NEAREST")
y$ = FADD(y$, midline$)
y = VAL(y$)
pen 8 + (x mod 7)
print at x, y, "*"
next
wait 1
next
cls : end

Looks pretty nice and creative! |
