TinyBasicWeb

I do have my own Tiny Basic dialect, usable as a web page:
cyberhole.online/basic/

Type DIR for a list of saved files, RUN “file” to load & run one. Intro & Spec (below the terminal) are fun reading, I’m sure!

There’s still a lot to do, I have “Level 1” (no arrays or functions) working, and it runs a lot of standard Tiny Basic programs with slight modifications (wrap expressions in (), use IF-THEN loops instead of FOR). See hurkle.bas for a good example of a port.

Level 2 is coming along sometime, and is closer to an ’80s microcomputer BASIC.

If you write fun programs, you can run them by appending ?run=URL to the page URL, and if you want to submit something for the file list, just mail me or message me at @mdhughes@appdot.net

I added arrays, 1 or more dimensions, see testdim.bas and testdimstr.bas for examples. So now it’s somewhat more useful for “real programs”!

And post array parsing, I could easily add functions, so a majority of standard BASIC functions are available now. Almost anything should be portable to it.

I was wondering, for the permacomputer project – could you do a stripped back CSS version of Tiny BASIC Web?

It doesn’t use much CSS, even the keyboard/printer mostly just use it for sizing. I believe those are all .term-whatever classes. If you specify a simpler font than Fira Sans (just default “monospace”), it won’t need any font loading.

mdhughes I will take a look!
