Basic-256 is a project to learn the basics of computer programming.[1] The project started in 2007 inspired by the article "Why Johnny can't code" by David Brin, which also inspired the creation of Microsoft Small Basic.[2] Its main focus is to provide a simple and comprehensive environment for middle/high school students to learn the basics of computer programming.[3]
Basic-256 started as a simple version of BASIC: the code editor, text output window and graphics display window are all visible in the same screen.[4] However, successive versions have added new features,[5] namely:
- Files (Eof, Size) – Version 9.4d
- Mouse events – Version 9.4d
- Sprites handling – Version 0.9.6n
- Database functions – Version 0.9.6y
- Network – Version 0.9.6.31
- Real Functions and Subroutines – Version 0.9.9.1
- Maps (Dictionaries) – Version 2.0.0.1
Complete documentation is available in English, Russian, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese.
