./lang/endbasic, BASIC interpreter + DOS environment, reimagined

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.11.1, Package name: endbasic-0.11.1, Maintainer: schmonz

EndBASIC is an interpreter for a BASIC-like language and is inspired
by Amstrad's Locomotive BASIC 1.1 and Microsoft's QuickBASIC 4.5.
Like the former, EndBASIC intends to provide an interactive environment
that seamlessly merges coding with immediate visual feedback. Like
the latter, EndBASIC offers higher-level programming constructs and
strong typing.

EndBASIC's primary goal is to offer a simplified and restricted
DOS-like environment to learn the foundations of programming and
computing, and focuses on features that quickly reward the learner.
These include a built-in text editor, commands to manipulate the
screen, commands to interact with shared files, and even commands
to interact with the hardware of a Raspberry Pi.
