BASIC256 is an implementation of BASIC.
Other implementations of BASIC.
BASIC-256 is an easy to use version of BASIC designed to teach anybody (especially middle and high-school students) the basics of computer programming. It uses traditional control structures like gosub, for/next, and goto, which helps kids easily see how program flow-control works. It has a built-in graphics mode which lets them draw pictures on screen in minutes, and a set of detailed, easy-to-follow tutorials that introduce programming concepts through fun exercises.
- Features
- fast graphics suitable for animation
- native speech synthesis
- mouse and keyboard events
- graphic files manipulation (saving, retrieving)
- playing sounds from WAV files
- sprites handling
- database functions
- socket networking
- error handling
- files I/O
- Disadvantages
- Unlike many other BASIC dialects of second and third generations (QBasic, PowerBASIC, BBC BASIC, Liberty BASIC, PureBasic and even TI-89 BASIC used in calculators) BASIC-256 does not support user-declared functions with parameters. This makes programming of recursion quite cumbersome (see the Ackermann function example)
- BASIC-256 does not support three- and N-dimensional arrays in general (N>2)
BASIC256 is open source and available for Linux, Windows and Mac.
For more information see basic256.org or to download and install sourceforge.
