Organiser's note: Readers should be aware that the programs listed on this page are not designed to run in Liberty BASIC and most won't. Since this is a wiki dedicated to Liberty BASIC the author is requested to post only code that is proven to run in Liberty BASIC. LBB code should be posted elsewhere.

I write programs purely for my own enjoyment and satisfaction, but if anyone else can use them and enjoy them too, then so much the better. The programs that I post here are free and open to all. I claim no rights or ownership, either intellectual or otherwise. These programs were developed and tested on my home PC using LBB. Modifications may be required to run them elsewhere. Everyone is welcome to change them, re-post them, or even sell them if they so desire.
List-It, version 2.80.2
A flexible but easy-to-use list management program, mostly for fun. Now I ask you -- who doesn't like a list??
Take a trip with me down memory lane – back to the early days of personal computing in the 1970’s – when MS-DOS, VisiCalc, and Zork were the most exciting things that were happening. Yes, back to text-based adventure games – those interactive stories where the only video was in your mind.
When I got my Radio Shack TRS-80 I bought an adventure game called “Mars”. It came on a 5 ¼ inch floppy diskette in GW-BASIC source code. Yes, the old floppy disks that you could actually bend nearly in half! You could turn them over in the drive and record 512kb on each side. The game was a bit lame so I enhanced it as much as I could within the 64kb memory restriction that I had at the time. My family, friends, and I enjoyed it for many years.
Just for old times sake I recently converted “Mars” to Windows and cleaned it up some. It runs in an 800 x 600 pixel window, so if your screen resolution is enough for that you can give it a try. Believe me, you don't want to look at the source code - it's pure spaghetti. At least there are no GOSUBs or line numbers anymore, but still far too many GOTOs.
Here's a useful flat-file database application. I designed it many years ago and have been running it every day since. I have now completely rewritten it using the Cheetah 2 Database System. The program uses 31 different Cheetah functions and two system variables.
This is a custom photograph viewer. It displays BMP files up to 800 x 600, with provision for extensive captions. Included are some of my favorite photos that I've taken over the years.
