I have just released GScript BASIC 1.5 - you can test run here using
HTML 5 compliant browser (right now only Firefox 3.1 and Safari 4 beta
- I have yet to test on Google Chrome).
GScript BASIC is a Applesoft BASIC like environment for kids to do HGR
and GR programming like what we used to do in the 80's. Using HGR,
kids can use HPLOT and HCOLOR like the Apple II, except now it comes
in 640x400 resolution. Using GR, kids can use PLOT, HLIN and VLIN to
draw the Lores graphics.
What's new in this version is the change of the UI to emphasized on
User Script - where user can save the current script they are writing
in local browser storage.
This is designed for my daughters who are now learning simple
Applesoft programming. GScript BASIC added enhanced multimedia
capability for the web and improved BASIC syntax.
If you have no interest in programming, you are free to read the codes
and see how the demos are done.
Have fun!
