Description
Small Basic is a unique programming language specifically designed to assist students in making the shift from block-based coding to text-based programming. By introducing the core components of syntax-driven languages in a user-friendly way, Small Basic equips learners with the necessary abilities and self-assurance to progress to more advanced languages like Java and C#. Additionally, it allows users to create applications for a variety of platforms including Kinect, Lego Mindstorm, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Oculus Rift. With a welcoming environment and a straightforward language enriched by a vibrant array of libraries, Small Basic enables you to bring your programs and games to life with just a few lines of code. You can quickly embark on developing your own games, sharing them with friends who can easily import and run your published creations on their own devices. Furthermore, using the Silverlight player, there’s an option to showcase your games on personal blogs and websites, allowing them to be played directly in the browser for a wider audience to enjoy. In this way, Small Basic not only fosters creativity but also encourages collaboration among budding programmers.
