Would be cool to see this or any BASIC shipped as a UEFI binary. Drop it into your EFI partition, now you can easily (well easily, depending on your firmware's implementation of EFI boot menu) boot your PC as a hyper-powerful Commodore 64. Ridiculous.
- zozbot234 3y agoUnfortunately the graphical capabilities of standard EFI are just too limited. You do get a graphical framebuffer and keyboard/mouse (which lets you do fancy BIOS setup screens) but that's pretty much it. So you're way better off booting some standard OS with a good collection of device drivers and running BASIC on top of that.
