the QBasic support actually makes me want to try to add Canvas support to it so that

  SCREEN 13
  CIRCLE (4, 3), 4, 4
and all the other stuff I used to have fun with years ago will actually work.

Actually Steve Hanov's implementation which we're using does have canvas support. You can find it at http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=92. We stripped the graphical parts since they make little sense in our UI. At some point we may add graphics support, but if we do it will be to all (or at least the majority of) the languages.
