Tribute BASIC

Danu Abeysuriya · 2004-09-14T19:00:23

Hi all, I'm writting a compiler and VM for fun, here is the first release, it has quite a few scripts you can play with I would really appreciate it if anyone could try it out and report any bugs or improvments etc. in this thread. the language is a similar dialect to Visual Basic except without the object orientation. UPDATE: 1.3.2 [download R1.3.2] Side Notes: I havn't had time to document it much, so please use Tide and browse the Scripts and Scripts/Simple Scripts Directories Also, Read the CONTENTS.TXT file in each folder for a description of the directory and some tips etc. Current Language Feature List: * Arrays (1D), Arrays as Arguments, Arrays as Return Types * Automatic Type Conversion (Float->Int vice versa) * External Library Support for DLL's * String Support with DLL Library * Math library with around 35 functions (Trig,Hyp,Arc,Log etc.) * Very Simple OpenGL library (for fun) * File I/O Library * Simple Timer based Profiler Library * Syntax Highlighting Text Editor (Tide.exe) Current Language Keyword List: * For, Next, To * While * If, ElseIf, Else * And * Function * Sub * Declare * Typeless Const * Dim, ReDim * GoTo Unsupported Language Keyword List: * Not, Or * Wend, Do, Until * Select, Case * Is * Type * With, End With * Exit Any Questions, Post Here.

As I said, this is nice. You deserve a lot of credit for it. Are you planning on taking this anywhere?

not really, i was asked to apply for a job at a very large
software company (that shall remain unnamed) this system
along with my reverse engineered quake3 renderer will be part
of my CV.

i just thought i'd show it off a bit becuase i am quite proud of
it :)

as i said, i intend on making LGPL or similar as soon as my
CV is sent off.

Cheers,
Danu
