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. |

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 or recursion quite cumbersome (see the Ackermann function example).
BASIC256 is open source and available for Linux, Windows and Mac.
For more information see basic256.org or to download and install sourceforge.
