News from the author of moonBASIC again.  

( https://github.com/CharmingBlaze/cyberbasic/discussions/10#discussioncomment-17003138 )

"Ive changed direction somewhat. Ive been working on a simple BlitzBASIC inspired BASIC that can WRAP any C library and use any C library in BASIC.[image: image.png] [image: image.png] Also a 3D application in my free time that turns 2D drawings in 3D. I've just decided before releasing anything I make sure that everything works 1st so people don't have issues. 

Hope everything is good with you. 

Kind regards, 
Charming Blaze"

I see. Good job!!! The  current version of BazzBasic is nice. Future versions will be very nice!

Sorry for my late reply. 

Very good! A lot of Itch members will discover your good language easily! 

Hi, I see. Actually, designing a formal page for BambooBasic on the following webpage may be an appropriate way for the public to have chances to contact this new game language. Sure.

Good luck!

Hi....again. Another similar BASIC dialect: BambooBASIC. This is the remake of the castle example of Blitz3D:

Further information: 

https://itch.io/t/5681223/two-new-basics-cyberbasic-and-bamboobasic-

Wow...I have watched all the other videos of the examples made in BambooBasic. Really well done. The development direction is correct: the style of these examples is very similar to the style of the examples in the Blitz3D installation file. People who like or use Blitz3D should be very interested in BambooBasic after watching the videos. Sure. You should look into how to let these people discover the existence of BambooBasic: you require an effective promotion method. <----- my unbiased opinion. Sure!!! 

This remake is very, very nice!

Hi!

However, this situation makes user bases of most modern BASIC dialects very small! Their authors really don't have reasonable methods to solve this issue. Too many BASIC dialects, too few users! 

I see! Thanks and good luck! Actually, there are several BASIC dialects mentioned in this sub-forum. They are new BASIC dialects. It  seems that competition among modern BASIC dialects are vigorous.

The to-do list of version 4.10. 

Hello, I notice that version 4.9 was released. Good. 
https://itch.io/t/6309910/-rcbasic-v49-is-out-#post-16025801

By the way, I discovered a discussion about RCBasic in the following forum! 
https://www.syntaxboom.net/forum/other-languages/1776-rcbasic

Also this one:

https://www.syntaxboom.net/forum/app-game-kit/1810-is-agk-studio-basic-interpret...

https://rcbasic.freeforums.net/thread/957/rcbasic-v4-9-out?page=1&scrollTo=9382

The author of the language is really diligent. 

Ha...I want to know whether there will be a big change in version 5.0.

Autumn? July to September? I see! 

"In addition, I also want to develop something myself using it, although I don't know what yet." <--- Maybe making the webpage perfect is a good target! ( https://ek-bass.itch.io/ )

My meaning is: putting various excellent items made in BazzBasic into that webpage and that webpage will become an attractive showcase of BazzBasic in the future! Just like the strategy of QBJS on this page : https://boxgm.itch.io/

Hey! What kind of example does potential users of BambooBasic want to see? Examples which are similar to the examples included in installation file of Blitz3D. Right? If you make a lot of similar examples(but use DirectX12 graphics) in BambooBasic, many current Bliz3D users will become BambooBasic users finally!

My computer is a cheap laptop computer with Windows 10. I have run the example . The ball could not be seen. Perhaps the  display card is not an okay display card for modern 3D games. 

By the way, SmallBASIC still supports version 5.5 of Raylib now, More information:
https://smallbasic.github.io/pages/plugins_raylib.html

Hello, I see! One more thing, perhaps adding various interesting information to the official website of BambooBasic will make more people interested in trying BambooBasic. The following language's website looks nice because of a lot of interesting information about that language is mentioned.  Therefore, I believe that BambooBasic's official website can also be more attractive if similar information is added. Just a suggestion. Good luck!!!

Hi! Thanks for explaining!

BASIC Jam #8 should be held in Dec and I guess that a formal version of BambooBasic will be released before Dec. This programming language will be effectively introduced to BASIC enthusiasts through this Jam. So cool!!!

Hi, thanks for providing the news!

I also wrote a post here: https://itch.io/t/6284371/smallbasic-will-support-raylib-version-6-with-the-next-release

Hi...good news. I have talked with a member of the development team of SmallBASIC:
https://itch.io/post/15957060

This member has two games made with SmallBASIC and old version of Raylib:

Hello, the animation looks quite good! I have one question. However, BambooBasic can only be run on Windows 11? I have one more question. What is the percentage of the completion of the manual? I think that reading detailed manuals is enjoyable. It is because I can learn many things from detailed manuals.

"b3d            385      384        1      99.7%    ;Edit: Final one isnt applicable, just a test function." <=== Version 1.0 will actually  be released very soon? Congratulations!

Really good! Thank you very much!!!

Hi! Sometimes I wanted to ask a question about the manual. 

This is the manual of RCBasic: https://rcbasic.com/v400/doc/rcbasic_manual.html 
The manual was included in the release of RCBasic. The question is about the similar manual: https://ekbass.github.io/BazzBasic/manual/#/
I tried to look into how to get the whole set of the manual(from Github). Looks impossible. Maybe  I am too stupid. Thanks first!

Wow! Good! This character is very, very nice! This character might appeal to the younger generation, so it's worth spending more time creating an interesting backstory for him, which could potentially attract a younger user base to this programming language!

That's great! I expect a detailed documentation which even novice will be able to learn programming easily. In addition, a documentation can be very cool. RCBasic's official  documentation is so cool: https://rcbasic.com/v400/doc/rcbasic_manual.html

I kook forward to moonBASIC's documentation!

Hello! Long time no see. I have read the news: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/discussions/5783

Version 6.0 looks powerful. Is there any plan for SmallBASIC to support version 6.0 of raylib in the near future? 

Hello......  

He is a cool boy! Sure! 
Perhaps an awesome official logo can also be created by using this cute mascot as a starting point. Besides, a series of code examples should also be made with this cute character. 

"Covered:   788 / 923  (85.4%)
Uncovered: 135 / 923  (14.6%)" <== You nearly finish. Good news! Good job!

"It'll all be self-contained in the editor, so, anyone new to it, they'll have a massive head start anyway!" <== Very user-friendly!

An Itch member encountered a problem about Python here. Please response. Thanks a lot:

Hello, one more thing, this is an idea. There is another dialect. The author of this dialect wrote a guide for programming novice. I think that this type of guide is really useful to novice: https://itch.io/t/6189807/bazzbasic-beginnerss-guide. It is a separate PDF book around 60 pages. I hope that you will consider writing a similar guide if you have time. I believe the younger generation needs this type of beginner tutorial the most. Yeah....I also talked with another author: https://github.com/CharmingBlaze/moonbasic/discussions/2 

Ok, that's all. Thank you.

Hello! Let me introduce myself. I am a BASIC hobbyist. In addition,  I like to host game jams for BASIC.

Since you are a BASIC dialect author, I share this information with you.  I have made a forum for BASIC on Itch recently: link. I hope that the forum will be a suitable place for communicating among BASIC enthusiasts and sharing BASIC information. You are very welcome to visit there. Sure! 

By the way, BASIC Jam #7 ended last week. Those entries are here: https://itch.io/jam/tjam-for-all-basic-dialevcts-7/results 

 Some of those games are quite inspiring! They show that BASIC is suitable for developing modern creative games. 

On the other hand, a very interesting phenomenon happened in this jam: link

That's all!  That's what I wanted to share with BASIC dialect authors. 

Hello, it is nice to read your post. No problem. I understood that most people were busy with real life. The next BASIC Jam may be at the end of this year. Thanks first! Ha...another special phenomenon in this BASIC Jam: https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects-7/topic/6187125/3-basic-dialect-authors-submitted-their-entries-to-basic-jam-7

Bye and good luck! 

The percentage of Linux OS is 3.16%. The market share may be too small. Anyway, good luck!

Ha...one more opinion, the degree of importance(platforms):

Windows > Web = Android > IOS > Linux = Mac

Hi!

One more thing, don't forget to design a logo for moonBASIC. 

Hi, the voting period ended a few days ago. I want to tell you that QBJS looks like an excellent game development tool. Why I have this feeling? It is because the 1st place winner and the 2nd place winner were also developed in QBJS:

 https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects-7/results

Finally, I made a forum for BASIC. It is good for sharing news and information of BASIC. You are welcome to visit it:

Bye and good luck!

Hello...ok.

Besides, I want to ask a question. Will BazzBasic support web platform later?
