SDLBasic

Post by Flype »

While reading some articles on wikipedia,
i found this BASIC language which syntax/functionnalities looks like PureBasic.
SDLBasic seems only designed for Games as it use SDL but it is available for many OS.

Seems good, and there are commands that would be good to see in PB.

If you are curious you can have a look at it here :

A few years ago there was an italian guy that took wxBasic and made SDLbasic out of it.
If it's the same Basic then it's not compiled to native exe's but to p-code. That's why it's so portable...

That reminds me of the Italian guy who wrote VMM Basic using PureBasic:

(apparently he had lost all his source code in a hard drive crash and has not developed this for around 1 1/2 years and it's no longer for sale.)
