EndBASIC 0.14 Unlocks Sound and Retro Graphics for Mini-Games

I am thrilled to announce EndBASIC 0.14, a major milestone adding long-awaited sound support and advanced graphics primitives like triangles and polygons. This release unifies our console look with a retro IBM VGA font, finally fixes macOS crashes, and introduces shebang support for direct script execution on Unix-like systems. With these features, the path to version 1.0 is now clear for creating retro-style mini-games.

0.14 marks a major milestone because it unblocks the path to 1.0.

    Always nice having an BASIC update.

    > For extra trivia, note that the convention in Visual Basic is to use CamelCase.

    This actually traces back to other BASIC dialects already in MS-DOS, I can tell this was already the common convention on Turbo BASIC, and QuickBASIC.

    There were also tools that would format to the desired way, long before go fmt became a thing.

    https://blitzmax.org is always going to be my preferred BASIC.

    This is very cool, though I'd want to see typed FUNCTION blocks.

More from this day
