    FreeBasic is a programming language. LÖVE is a game framework for the Lua language. LÖVE is great but is a very different kind of product.

    Old QBasic/QuickBasic programs can be easily refreshed witt the help of QB64, and after compiling, they run on modern 64 bit computers. A form designer is available, too.

    • QB64 is Free and Open SourceFreeBASIC is also Free and Open Source
