msgbox "Hello World"

BASIC is basically (no pun intended, but it's actually not too bad, now that I look at it) the same, except you do

PRINT "Hello World"

I mostly use Visual Basic 6 and .Net, and I must say, this is sooo neat to play with. Subs are there, you can dim arrays, all that neat stuff is there, and ive never used BASIC before. Except maybe BBC Basic. But i think thats different .

Just do your BASIC in an emu.. Frodo for C64-basic, or even STOS for crazy game-oriented basic on the ST ;0 Oooooh, you wanted useful...

Yeah basic in an emu is great. This could be nice too though. With it running native you can access the screen, buttons, speakers, etc. Plus it has the potential to run faster than in an emu too.

Must look take a look at the basic, Does anybody now if BlitzMax could be ported. Its a very cool game programming language which can be compiled for Linux, Windows and Macs.

Take a look at www.blitzbasic.com/Products/blitzmax.php

Would visualbasic 6 work on the GP2X, or do the programs made in it only work on Windows platforms?

the second one.

Yes, I would enjoy seeing BlitzBasic compiled programs running on the gp2x.

Blitzbasic is a) not open source (blitzmax isn't even free), and B) uses OpenGL (at least, blitzmax does). Still, it's a great starter programming language.

I see... Well, what development environment should I use for the GP2X? I've been wanting to learn to program, so I guess I'll try on the GP2X.

EDIT: Oh, I see... Smallbasic is the dev environment... :rolleyes:

if you don't know any other languages and so don't have any "allegiances" as it were, your options are c/c++, python, and fenix. and now smallbasic has been added to the list.
