Small Basic
-
Probably good for teaching kids. Microsoft is giving away (as in free) their Small Basic, and it works on Win7. More here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b006d58d-c2c7-44ad-936b-e7e2d7de793e[^]
Best wishes, Hans
Hey, this is pretty neat. Did you check out the built-in
Turtleobject?Turtle.Show()
GraphicsWindow.KeyDown = KeyDownSub KeyDown
Turtle.TurnRight()
Turtle.Move(100)
EndSubRegards, Nish

Haha, nice! Let me guess, it can only turn right.

No it can turn in any direction, and can even turn by a given angle :-) The IDE itself is a WPF application! Pretty interesting stuff here!

Ah, the turtle program I used when I was younger could only turn left by turning right several times (or by a large angle).
Was that the Logo one?

Sounds like a SatNav in Milton Keynes[^], "Turn Right, Turn Right, Turn Right, Turn Right, you are lost"

Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe it could turn both ways... might have just been a programming assignment to have it turn one way by turning the other way a few times.

The SmallBasic Turtle turns using a WPF animation. So it's pretty flexible (pity they didn't add 3d support).

EndSub:laugh: That would be why I never watch NASCAR. MotoGP is much more exciting. I'm working on a training module to teach at-risk high school students a little bit of programming beyond the HTML/JavaScript they are already working with. I'll be using Small Basic. Easier to install. No solution/project files. Less overhead and no background knowledge required to start coding when compared to VS. "New" and start writing some code.

I know what you're thinking! Now if they just had a Small C#...
Best wishes, Hans
it would probably be called c# and C# is its big brother
