Acheter BASIC8 PC

BASIC8 propose un ordinateur fantasy intégré pour créer jeux et programmes dans un dialecte BASIC moderne. Les développeurs modélisent sprites, tiles, cartes et images quantifiées grâce à des outils visuels intégrés, tandis que le Wave Maker gère les effets sonores. Le code s'exécute sur un écran 160x128 pixels avec palettes 16 couleurs, compatible jusqu'à 65535 commandes de dessin par cycle, 512 frames de sprites et cartes multi-couches jusqu'à 128x64 tiles. Partagez facilement vos créations en fichiers *.b8, PNG ou texte, ou transformez vos disques en players autonomes via les makers intégrés. L'entrée gamepad pour jusqu'à 8 joueurs complète les contrôles clavier et souris, avec des bibliothèques pour la gestion de fichiers, JSON, le networking et bien plus. Fans de rétro computing et devs en herbe y trouvent un plaisir immédiat grâce à ses routines structurées, lambdas, prototypes et coroutines.


BASIC8 is an integrated Fantasy Computer for game and other program development. You can create, share and play disks in a modern BASIC dialect, with built-in tools for editing sprite, tiles, map, quantized, etc. It's been a while since we used to enjoy coding and playing straightforward after a computer bootup. The goal of BASIC8 is bringing a sense of joy back from retro/vintage computing and gaming, also being quick at getting higher level stuff done for contemporary development for everyone.
