Re: GScript BASIC 1.4 Released

[limtc <thyechean@gmail.com>]

Hi,

There is not intended to be a final product - just an on-going project
to make Applesoft way of programming available to my kids, without
using an emulator (for those of you who keep track of how my 7 year
old son Ding Wen grows up from an Applesoft programmer to Apple IIGS
programmers - using emulator - and now become an ActionScript
programmer, you will know what I mean).

You can download the gsbasic.zip that contains GScript BASIC itself
and all the sample scripts and do programming locally, or programming
it on the browser using the 40 column editor window and save it in
cookies (this is primary for testing - like trying our plotting dot or
draw a line - what my 5 years old daughter is doing now).

The project will stop when there is no more interest in this. Remember
I primary do this for 1 audience (my 5 year old daughter) but I think
there might be some other people interested in this - a modern style
Applesoft BASIC inspired language that can do web and iPhone
programming, that's why it is released to the world to play. You have
seen what it can do - Duet, Apple ][ Forever, etc. Right now there is
at least some interests, so it is still on going, it might stop
tomorrow, not sure.

The current version is 1.4.3 (at the time of this reply), it has new
features and more BASIC like syntax over 1.4.2 and before and
before... when a new version is up, I simply announce it here. I am
not sure what;s so confusing about it. Isn't all software evolved over
time? :)

Simply have fun - programming is fun.
