I've been working on a classic BASIC language inspired by Microsoft Atari Basic. It comes with a 50x50 display by default and makes it really easy to draw things and make games. The language is still in Beta and I'll be improving it over the coming weeks. For now here is the documentation and a sample snake game that I found on the internet and modified to make it work here. Please let me know what you think.
If you're curious you can find the source code for the interpreter here (https://repl.it/@amasad/pg-basic). Feel free to fix bugs and send patches.
Announcing Basic Language With Graphics (Beta)
Hey everyone!
I've been working on a classic BASIC language inspired by Microsoft Atari Basic. It comes with a 50x50 display by default and makes it really easy to draw things and make games. The language is still in Beta and I'll be improving it over the coming weeks. For now here is the documentation and a sample snake game that I found on the internet and modified to make it work here. Please let me know what you think.

@StudentFires yes. I guess that makes the name kind of silly but it relies on JavaScript strings.
