Re:30 years later, QBasic is still the best by ajosh on Thursday May 05, 2016 @01:03PM (#11637854)
Some screen modes[1] like screen 9 actually had page flipping as an option. You could write to the "back" screen buffer and then switch which buffer was shown. I used that to make a poor man's strobe light.

I really miss the simplicity of QBasic sometimes.
