Small Basic

[Hans Dietrich]

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

I know what you're thinking! Now if they just had a Small C#...

Hey, this is pretty neat. Did you check out the built-in Turtle object?

Turtle.Show()
GraphicsWindow.KeyDown = KeyDown

Sub KeyDown
Turtle.TurnRight()
Turtle.Move(100)
EndSub

Wow, it has a Flickr object too :-)

image = Flickr.GetPictureOfMoment()
GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(image, 0, 0)

I tend to use a Flickr when I have a Turtle object.

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).

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).
