Hello & THanks ,
I am interested in IWbasics , but I can't figure out which is best all around ,
iwBasic , cBasic , aurora , iBasic , EmergenceBasic .
It makes me think that they are not fully developed yet .
Maybe someone could help me out with that .

Thanks All...vm

IBasic and CBasic are interpreters
Development of IBasic ceased 8-9 years ago.  CBasic took its place

EmergengenceBasic (EBasic) was replaced and upgraded by IWBasic which is a compiler.

Aurora is an OOP compiler that has never been offically released(due to lack of a complete help file).

Since you are coming from MiniBasic I will say this.
MiniBasic is Aurora with mostly cosmetic changes, in my opinion.
If you got rid of the classes and methods of MiniBASIC and converted them to individual commands and made some cosmetic changes you would have something very, very similar to IWBasic except that IWBasic has more functionality.

See the features of each here:
IWBasic
CBasic
Aurora

Hi,

Everyone knows I'm completely unbiased as regards programming languages .. 

.. but I have to admit the 'senior' language IWB, does have better graphics facilities than Creative .. 

I tried for years to get Paul to update the CB graphics in line with IWB - but unfortunately to no avail - pity that, although the facilities still outperform many other languages in my opinion.

You won't find many languages that can handle 5-dimensional arrays either .. 

Code Select Expand


openconsole
cls

dim a[5,2,4,5,3]:int
a[0,1,0,0,0] = 88

print a[0,1,0,0,0]

do:until inkey$<>""
closeconsole
end


.. that's if complex maths is to your taste .. 

best wishes,

Graham
