A small collection of graphical-oriented Basic-256 demo programs.
A set of graphical-oriented programs using the BTK2 routines to provide a rich and interactive visual environment.
GoSome simple dynamic, particle-based programs. For a small tutorial on how these are created, please look at the Particle tutorial
GoThese are some simple programs that do not belong in the other categories... Mostly simple graphical tests/games/conversions
GoA set of small programs, each showcasing a single interface element. It also includes a small demo program containing all elements
GoLearn some programming concepts with this Particle Fountain tutorial. Hopefully other will follow (text&image disintegration,...)
Hello! I'm UglyMike, a 64-year old amateur programmer showing off some of my demo programs written in Basic-256 and trying to share basic knowledge through tutorials.
This Basic-256 is a quit powerfull, interpretive BASIC dialect with a nice QT-based IDE and also has a nice Wikipedia Page.
Now that I'm retired, I decided to resurrect these pages after more than a decade in order to keep active and to show off some of my updated Basic-256 demo programs. (Now compatible with 2.0.0.11).
Although Jim Reneau (one of the original developers) is still active, I understand that Basic-256 has lost most of its former audience (A broken website doesn't help...). That won't stop me however. As long as I'm having fun with Basic-256, I'll continue!
