I am wondering if anyone has tried the new version. Feedback about the new PRINT output system for the PRINT command would be helpful. It's easy to try. Just run some of the math/science examples. The result should feel a bit like Just Basic.

In the latest update for Craft Basic to version 1.6, there's new keywords, examples, and features. ​ The TAB keyword works along with the COMMA, QUOTE, and NEWLINE keywords for printing tabs in the output window. Arrays may now be dimmed with multi line lists. The recursion limit was raised. This ab...

Right. Kinda swamped ATM with the passing of a close relative, will see what I can do in the near future... My condolences. I understand. I just took a stab at v1.3, and I still encounter the black screen problem with all the GUI examples. It could be something specific with my system, but unfortun...

I do not mind, although I would like to humbly request a quick review of the latest version as I have made many improvements and consider it to be stable. As far as the not working on Windows 10 thing? I don't know. It works on the ones I tested. Oldergeeks uploaded it as well and have screenshots o...

​I have released version 1.3 to fix another issue with the for loops. They should be even more accurate and stable now. The issue was happening with things such as FOR i = -1 TO 0 STEP -1. No wonder. There's now a QUOTE keyword to go along with COMMA and NEWLINE for output formatting. I also "i...

Version 1.2 has been released. I had to rush this one out to fix a critical, but uncommon bug with for/next loops. A new example called eulermethod.bas has been included. 'euler method example precision 4 let s = 2 gosub euler let s = 5 gosub euler let s = 10 gosub euler end sub euler cls cursor 1, ...

Craft Basic version 1.1 released Many things have changed for the better with the new 1.1 version. The code has been cleaned up and optimized. Bugs have been removed. Important changes include the syntax of functions. The functions will work much more like your standard BASIC now. Also, the image h...

The old site links to the new.

I updated the archive entry.

Another update has been uploaded. Also, Craft Basic has a new home website at http://www.lucidapogee.com

The new update includes versioninfo, manifest, and some bug fixes.

An update has been uploaded. New features include: newly added commands: for, step, next, and else The break command now works for do and for loops. A break by itself targets do loops and with a variable, it target's for loops. If/endif blocks may now use else. The IDE search has been upgraded. It n...

That's interesting. The text is also based in graphics primitives and is drawn to the window (except stac text forms which are also supported). I'm glad you got the math stuff working. Perhaps there's a setting in your configuration of Windows that is preventing the graphics. Maybe there's some a 32...

I wonder why. I tried it on two Windows 10 computers so far and it worked well . Although it has been developed on 95 and XP. It is made with Emergence Basic, a 32 bit compiler from Ionicwind.com and uses graphic primitives and windows api gui. It doesn't use DirectX, but draws directly to the windo...

Thank you for allowing me to share my program. The forms.bas example is really bare bones and just shows how to set up a window. It should show a black colored screen and a yellow/blue button thatt says exit. It should also print the mouse coordinates in red/blue at the top left of the window. Are y...
