B3Script, embed Basic directly into HTML

Welcome to the B3Script wiki!

[Short: "B3" (just like "W3")]

B3 is a javascript implementation of Basic, that is intended to run in the browser. It includes a full screen Basic editor. B3 is based on generic (Commodore) Basic of the 70s, 80s and aims to do deal with HTML and web challenges.

(NOTE: B3 is still in a very early state, so far there are hardly any web or graphics features implemented)

For starting programming in Basic, there are many resources online. On that I can recommend is this one: Commodore Basic on the C64 Wiki

Goals

  • Make it easier to start programming
  • No need to install, just visit the B3 website, and start programming
  • Optimized for editing basic programs
  • Screen editor emulation. To get that look-and-feel from a Commodore computer.
  • Graphics using HTML Canvas
  • HTML Commands
  • Embed in your HTML, and host it.

Compatibility

Check here how compatible B3 Script is with classic Basic. Compatibility

Why?

Why did I create this implementation of browser based basic?

Website

Mostly because I wanted a website where I could just do cool basic programming, without installing a basic language on my computer.

Share

I also wanted a way to share commodore 64 basic programs in an easy way, for example on facebook or twitter.
