Turbo C++: A Trip Down Memory Lane That Works on New pcs
Remember when you had to fight with DOS commands to compile "Hello World"? Turbo C++ gives you that classic Turbo C feeling again, but you won't want to throw your monitor out the window when it won't run on windows 10.
Why This Isn't Just Another Blast from the Past
- Fullscreen that really works No more squinting at that little DOS box
- It's Turbo C, but it works All the memories, none of the "why won't you run?!" frustration
- DosBox built right in Like training wheels for your time machine
The Installation: More Simple Than Your First "Hello World"
We had to set up autoexec.bat just to run a compiler back in the day. What now?
- Get the installer (from this century!)
- Press "Next" a few times
- Boom! You're writing C++ code that isn't very good, just like in 1995
Tip: This is a great way to teach beginners. They'll appreciate modern IDEs so much more after using this.
Who Should Really Use This
Ideal for:
- Professors teaching "how computers really work"
- Old school programmers getting sentimental
- Students who want to go through what their teachers went through
Not for:
- People who believe IDEs should have code completion
- Anyone writing code for real production
- Those who are faint of heart (that blue screen is scary)
The Bottom Line
Turbo C++ is like that old car your dad keeps in the garage. It's not useful every day, but it's fun to drive every now and then. Don't expect air conditioning or seat belts.
PS: If you want to really get back to the past, try writing some graphics code. That 16 color EGA mode will do the trick. 🕹️
