BASIC Interpreter
Back to General discussions forum
Hello,
centuries ago I used to do quite some programming with BASIC, starting with the Commodore PET.
Today I looked for a BASIC interpreter that runs under Windows 10 and found PCBASIC.
Unfortunately it does not support labels like "GOSUB ROTATE", it's oldfashioned and requires something like "GOSUB 100", which is fine for me but not for the Codeabbey problem!
I solved problem 284 with C, but that of course doesn't help much.
Has anyone a suggestion as to a suitable BASIC interpreter? Virtual machines are out of the question, my laptop is slow enough as it is. Visual Studio I have, but I don't like it and it seems not to be appropriate for these problems anyway.
Thanks for reading
BASIC, being the most popular of introductory languages, for people my age at least, has many variants, surprisingly many modern ones, so really, just take your pick. Take a look at GAMBAS, though it may be too much if you 're just interested in Codeabbey problems. Otherwise take a look at FreeBasic, or PureBasic, or even DarkBasic. Really, it's a matter of preference. Just google "modern BASIC for Windows" and have fun!
