Craft Basic is a BASIC interpreter for Windows 95 and up.

It features an interactive IDE allowing code to be ran on the fly. Documentation and several example programs are included. Learn programming easily and develop software for Windows!

Simple commands are included for game development. You may easily display bitmap files. Wav files are easy to play. Even the keyboard buttons are simple to read. There's also the simple and traditional print and input commands. Single dimensional arrays are supported.

Operator precedence is !, *, /, %, +, -, <, >, <=, >=, =, <>, XOR, AND, OR, and ^. AND may be written as &. OR may be written as |. XOR may be written as ~. ! is the not operator. % is the mod operator. ^ is the power operator. Functions have no precedence over any operators. Floating point numbers are supported. The negative operator is supported. Parentheses may be used to override order of operations. Supported functions include (RND), (CLOCK), INT:, SIN:, COS:, and TAN:.

Craft Basic may be used as a scripting language by associating .bas files. If you prefer to distribute the program as an .exe, follow these steps. First, copy and paste Craft Basic.exe to the distribution directory. Then copy your programs .bas file to the same directory. Rename Craft Basic.exe to match the .bas file. Change the .bas file extension to a .run file. The result should look like myprogram.exe and myprogram.run. When you run the resulting exe, your program will execute automatically. Now you may include a readme and zip it up.
