Hello peeps, 
Made this little toy language/interpreter in Java.

AnyaBASIC is a portable Interpreted Programming Language made in Java and out of
boredom after seeing a post about an esolang made of emoticons on the
Programmers,Developers Facebook Group.
It has a syntax similar to BASIC with a bit of C and PASCAL thrown in.

While I consider this language a "Toy Language", it evolved into something that's
capable of doing something more(games, graphics, etc).
It's also a language whose keywords are in English so it should be a good language
to use for teaching kids how to program.



Features

 

 - Very easy to use

 - Case insensitive

 - As loosely-typed as any language can get

 - Easy to figure out with clean syntax

 - Only uses about 30 global keywords

 - Fast(for an interpreter made in an interpreted language)

 - Portable

 - Graphics capable

 - Full hardware acceleration

Don't expect much though.  Made this in a little less than 3 weeks.  😂

That's a cool project relsoft!  :clap:
Would love to see some code.

Made me remember an old presentation about how to make coding more accessible by giving immediate visual feedback in the ide. I couldn't find the vid, I'll post it if I manage to find it again.

Cool

I wondered a while ago if you are still working on something.

p.s. Was getting a retro (now anymore) Pentium 3 with DOS, right now running your monodisco demo, then searching old qbasic forums, reminisching the old times. Wondering where everyone dissapeared.

Yo Michael!  Nice to see you're back.

:)

Some of us are on facebook.  :)



Just added associative arrays, functions as arguments, type returns, etc. 

Will port to android...
