Hi! I've been brushing up on my MBASIC and developed some interesting programs. One is a hurricane tracking tool that provides a projected path storms/hurricanes on an ASCII map with a range of relevant data, save/load data, etc. It also afjusts the track based on the influence of nearby low/high pressure systems. I'd like to share the program and data files. What is a good place to post the files and code? A particular discussion board here or Github?
Maybe someone will have some fun with it!
Thanks!
