Yes, I used Google Anti-Gravity to convert the programs from GW-BASIC to 'C', but what a better learning tool than to debug a program?
This repository contains a 'C' port of the classic GW-BASIC games from David Ahl's "BASIC Computer Games" and "More BASIC Computer Games" originally published by Creative Computing.
The original games were written in GW-BASIC and have been ported over to 'C', ensuring they compile and run on a variety of platforms including Linux (GCC), Windows (MSVC), and FreeDOS (Open Watcom).
When I get time, I will finish this project, otherwise fork it and finish it yourself.
Make sure CAPS LOCK IS ON!

Build Instructions The repository includes build scripts for multiple environments:
Linux (GCC): Run ./build_lx.sh Windows 11 (MSVC): Run build_win.bat FreeDOS (Watcom): Run build_fd.bat
The source files for the C ports are located in the src/ directory. The original GW-BASIC code is retained in the .bas files in the root directory and as comments directly inside the ported .c source files for easy reference.
