Probably this is off-topic for me to say on a Python list, but why not see if you can compile your GWBASIC program in FreeBASIC[1]. It supports all graphics commands and screen modes of yesterday and can do them in a window on modern operating systems. As for Python, you may find that something like SDL or PyGame provides primitives that are not far off of what you had in GWBASIC all those years ago. As ChrisA has said, Python 2.7 is *not* recommended for any new projects. [1] https://www.freebasic.net/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
