About Nonki: I am an amateur programmer.  I used to program with one of BASIC language on an 8-bit micro computer when I was a college student.  In 2010, I started to program with Microsoft Small Basic.  And I'm interested in making Go program and conveying the fun of programming.

And here's an excerpt from the article:

Overview

I wrote a Turtle Maze Game 1.56 (XHL585-5 ) as a Small Basic program.  In this article, I'd like to introduce how to create this kind of program.

I wrote this program with three phases.  Firstly I wrote a program just creates and shows a maze.  Secondly I wrote an AI (Artificial Intelligence) which solve the maze.  At last, I wrote an UI (user interface) to battle with the AI.
