Witte, a well-known norwegian QL developer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Per developed much interesting and great quality software, among       them Qwirc, a .WIN disk manager, and D-Miner &#8211; the best minefield       game developed for the QL. Also, he contributed in developing the       SMSQE operating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The site has a nice \u201cretro\u201d look, and it&#8217;s divided into several       sections.<br>          <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.knoware.no\/img\/dminer.png\" alt=\"Image of D-Miner\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The games section is mostly dedicated to the user who likes to play and have some fun. Into this section you will find several games, two of which I&#8217;d like to highlight: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the first is the already noted D-Miner, which has really nice       graphics and sports many options. The second is also the last one appeared: Qombi, a card game on which I personally spent several evenings. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.knoware.no\/img\/QombiDark40.jpg\" alt=\"QOMBI configured, largest size (compressed)\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The program section lists many good programs, starting from sprite visualization to printer handling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.knoware.no\/img\/qwirc3.png\" alt=\"Drive statistics\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.knoware.no\/img\/ped.png\" alt=\"PED main display\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> But the real heart of the site is the programmer utility section, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> where you will find an authentic treasure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> You will be able to discover several SuperBASIC extensions, with excellent  documentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> A developer will have a real good time browsing the site discovering dozens of utilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The site contains also many demos and sources, aiming to guide the developer in using those extensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.knoware.no\/img\/msprv.png\" alt=\"Msprv\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last, you can find an article section, containing many stories from magazines.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think this is the classic website to search for a specific program, you&#8217;re wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knoware is like a good book; you&#8217;ll have to read and re-read it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know that, the first time you browse a site, you search for what you need and find not interesting the other pages of the site. This is the opposite with Knoware: the best approach is to look, read, discover and let it inspire you in creating something, thanks to the ideas you&#8217;ll find in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The true aim of the site is not letting you have already made programs (but yes, there are) but utilities, instruments, and &#8211; most important &#8211; knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name itself of the site (knoware) is a word play for Nowhere, To know and softWare. <\/p>\n\n\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today I&#8217;d like to talk about a website which I feel extremely interesting for those who develop on the QL: KNOWARE (www.knoware.no).
