My son and I wanted a game to play against each other, so we built one in a weekend. jdVOID is a two-player arena duel written entirely in jdBasic: one rules module shared by server and client, the client running as WebAssembly in a phone browser, and every sprite drawn by array math at startup.

jdBasic grew a native Windows forms toolbox: real Win32 controls, menus, toolbars, MDI windows and a visual form designer in VS Code. Every form compiles to a standalone .exe. Classic Visual Basic energy, 2026 runtime.

jdeRG is live: a German e-invoicing SaaS (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD viewer, validator and creator with Stripe billing) written entirely in jdBasic. The whole production process runs in about 19 MB of RAM - less than an empty Express hello world.

Tetris with a twist: overload one side and the whole deck capsizes 90 degrees, sliding your cargo onto the new floor. Built in jdBasic, compiled native, with free self-contained downloads for Mac and Windows.

Four local LLM-driven NPCs with persistent memory, affinity, story arcs and rumour-spread, all running on a single GPU. jdBasic + Qwen3-14B + Godot 4.6, with the whole storyline emerging from a few JSON files.

What happens when you combine a rainy Sunday, jdBasic, and Claude? You get a functional 6502 emulator and an Apple II skeleton - built from scratch in just four hours.

jdBasic just went "Pro." From APL-style vector mathematics and 3D tensors to native Win32 API hijacking and recursive background tasks.

I applied my developer mindset to the gamification of reading. Instead of optimizing code, I optimized my reading stats by publishing the first 3 satirical "Gap Books" on Amazon KDP (with 2 more arriving in April).

A productive start to 2026! I overhauled the SoundSystem with a "Strudel-like" sequencer, added Binary I/O, and implemented Hardware support (Joystick/Serial).

I just unlocked Fluent Interfaces in my custom interpreter. By implementing `RETURN THIS` and modifying the statement parser, jdBasic now supports elegant method chaining.

I stress-tested the jdBasic audio engine by coding Michael Jackson's Billie Jean from scratch. No samples (mostly), just C++ synthesis and code. Watch the video and see the code!
