yah.... ZBasic.  excellent, if you can find it.  (commercial program)
two versions.  one runs on an enhanced 128k //e or higher, the other on 
anything capable of ProDOS (64k ][+ or above).  the only difference is 
that the 128k version allows double hi-res and larger programs.  the 
stuff compiles to .SYSTEM files ($FF).

there's a version for DOS 3.3 someplace too, also for IBM, Mac, and 
various CP/M systems.  source is instantly portable from one to the 
next; even graphics are not system dependent (except for certain 
aspects, but with careful forethought it isn't a problem).
