Biography : I am an amateur programmer.  I used to program with one of BASIC language on an 8-bit micro computer when I was a college student.  In 2010, I started to program with Microsoft Small Basic.  And I'm interested in making Go program and conveying the fun of programming. Now I am a moderator of Small Basic forum and a member of Small Basic Community Council.



It started in the May Small Basic Challenges from LitDev:

We had this community challenge...


Community Suggestion (By Ed Price)



  • Write a Dragon Game. It can be any game where you try to slay a dragon, whether it is a text-based game, graphical, or a combination. You could also make the dragon the hero.



You can see Athasak's Small Basic game here: Small Basic - Thar Be Dragons!!!



On May 11, Nonki got his project started:


This is my first step for community suggestion by Ed: HMP803 .





In that version, it's just an animation of the dragon moving. No interaction yet.



Nonki followed it up with a new version on May 12:


This is my second step for community suggestion by Ed: HMP803-1 .


You can move Turtle with mouse.



Nonki returned on May 18:


This is my third step for community suggestion by Ed: HMP803-3 .


You can throw stars by clicking mouse.  This is still alpha version.



This is my fourth step for community suggestion by Ed: HMP803-4 .



  • Turtle is always moving

  • Move mouse to rotate Turtle

  • Click to throw a star




This is still alpha version.



In this version above, you can't yet hurt the dragon.


That leads to his latest version, on May 20:


This is my fifth step for community suggestion by Ed: HMP803-5 .




    • Move mouse to rotate Turtle

    • Click to throw a star targeting Dragon's head

    • You can throw 10 stars at a time




This is a hilarious game, and it's fun to see the Small Basic turtle be involved!


But a warning is that this pretty hard!


Thanks go out to Nonki for a fun dragon game!



Small and Basically yours,
