Star Announcing RebornDOS.sb
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 05-06-2025, 01:58 AM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - Replies (1)

I've been making a project called RebornDOS.sb.
It's a DOS rebirth on Small Basic.
Code's too big (exceeds 5k chars, which the MyBB engine doesn't handle), so can I share the sb file on a compressed/zip folder w/ OneDrive link?

QUICK EDIT

It's a prototype, but you can make your own distros of it. (w/ perms or credit)

  Twin Basic
Posted by: Lester - 05-04-2025, 07:18 PM - Forum: Discussion - No Replies

I came across a new Basic language called Twin BASIC. Its in late BETA, and is scheduled for release in early summer. I played with it for an hour or two yesterday and it looks good. According to the website: "twinBASIC is a modern BASIC compiler that aims to be fully compatible with all existing VB6 and VBA code"  

Check it out,  Lester

Windows' built-in VGA typeface/font is Fixedsys, you might find worth it using on your Small Basic GW projects.

  Zahl ins deutsche Format umwandeln

Hallo zusammen,

Das Programm (mit der Erweiterung LitDev) WNWQ963.000 formatiert eine Zahl in das deutsche Format mit Tausendertrennzeichen und Rundung.
Hat jemand einen Vorschlag für eine Verbesserung der Optimierung?
Vielen Dank

Are we able to post GitHub links to repos that are either related to Small Basic or have Small Basic programs?

I'm making a website for submitting and sharing SB programs quickly.

It'll be easier to share SB programs there.

Just telling. (if any of you want to use the website)

  Small Basic CMD simulator
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 04-19-2025, 05:21 PM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - No Replies

Finally,

After publishing my Bash simulator, I've tried to expand it's very basic code.

ID: ZVVD6.000
Link: https://smallbasic.com/program/?ZVVD6.000

Code:
TextWindow.Hide()
TextWindow.Title = "Windows Command Prompt"
year = Clock.Year
path = "C:\Windows\System32"
helpInfoTxt[1] = "== HELP =="
helpInfoTxt[2] = "dir <path> - Lists files from a path."
helpInfoTxt[3] = "echo <text> - Writes line to the prompt."
helpInfoTxt[4] = "cd <path> - Enters a path."
helpInfoTxt[5] = "help - Shows this text."
TextWindow.Show()
TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "White"
TextWindow.WriteLine("Copyright "+year+" sm4llprogrammer2008")
While ("True")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "White"
  TextWindow.Write(path+">> ")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "Gray"
  prompt = TextWindow.Read()
  EventHandler()
EndWhile

Sub EventHandler 'We'll return events based on input (variable: prompt)
  getting = LDText.Split(prompt, " ") 'Split text
    If getting[1] = "dir" Then 'Event handler for dir
      getpath = getting[2]
      If Text.GetIndexOf(getpath, "C:\") = 1 Then
        files = File.GetFiles(getpath) 'Get files
        For i = 1 To Array.GetItemCount(files) 'List all files from the directory input by the user
          TextWindow.WriteLine(files[i])
        EndFor
      Else 'If no path is typed or none
          TextWindow.WriteLine("Invalid path. Use a valid directory starting with C:\")
     EndIf
    ElseIf getting[1] = "cd" Then 'Event handler for cd
      getpath = getting[2]
      If Text.GetIndexOf(getpath, "C:\") = 1 Then
        path = getpath
      Else
        TextWindow.WriteLine("Invalid path. Use a valid directory starting with C:\")
      EndIf
    ElseIf getting[1] = "echo" Then
      returning = Text.GetSubText(prompt, Text.GetIndexOf(prompt, "echo") + 5, Text.GetLength(prompt) - Text.GetIndexOf(prompt, "echo") - 4)
      TextWindow.WriteLine(returning)
    ElseIf getting[1] = "help" Then
      For i = 1 To Array.GetItemCount(helpInfoTxt)
        TextWindow.WriteLine(helpInfoTxt[i])
