BASIC8

Years and years later, it still crashes even with the most mundane of tasks. Every time I try to give BASIC8 the benefit of the doubt, it lets me down. Over and over and over again.

great peice of software,you truly can do anything with it if you put enough time into it my only complaint is that you really cant do much in terms of graphics other than that its great to do whatever you so please

I love this tool! I started programming back in QBASIC on DOS when I was 14 and I love that this is available on steam to bring back those retro days of BASIC programming. There are other free BASIC dialects but I think it's super convenient that this tool allows easy sharing of what users make.

Gute alte Zeiten sind zurück, man kann jetzt wieder Basic in der Fassung 8, es ist zwar softwaretechnisch nicht auf dem Stand von Java (Oracle) aber viele Leute werden damit was hinkriegen können. Steam ist halt nicht nur eine reinrassige Spieleplattform. Abschliessend bewerte ich BASIC8 als kaufenswert. Danke für ihre Aufmerksamkeit.

Very good for begginers and pros, only downside is that there a not a lot of tutorials on the web.

After a while this program is great but only if you know how to program already because of the high learning curve the hardest challenge was finding information that is why i made a guide to help my self and other i do recommend this but only if you know some programming

I really like the idea of BASIC8, but there are literally no tutorials that i can find. There is some okay documentation in the engine's/computers manual. but its kind of lacking as well. For instance, i was reading through it and found a message box command, so i tried it out "MSGBOX("Hello")" this worked , however there was no further documentation in regards to how to use the message box. so the message box and message would pop, up but i had no idea how to write something to interact with the "ok" button on the message box. which left me with a program i couldnt close or do anything with besides dragging the message box around, i couldnt even close my program. this thing really needs more documentation / tutorials similar to what you'd see when learning python. i'd only recommend the software if you're already experienced with the BASIC language and want to make some retro style games for fun.

Gdy spróbujesz zwiększyć czcionkę ta się baguje i zwiększa się do strasznie dużych rozmiarów a że twórca nie dał możliwości cofnięcia tego program stanie się nieobsługiwalny ponieważ menu z opcjami nie mieści się na ekranie i nie da się do niego dotrzeć :( (taki stan zostanie po wyłączeniu lub usunięciu programu) Poza tym silnik ten nie dorównuję pico-8. Ma wiele możliwości ale jednak radził bym kupić tańszy pico-8

Requires you to already know BASIC

Basic8 is better than Pico8, Basic8 is being developed further, Pico 8 has not been developed for a long time. Thanks for the continued development, I love Basic 8
