On the other hand, I see the discussion thread of a new BASIC dialect project in a BASIC forum:

https://itch.io/t/5793515/bazzbasic-was-released

BazzBasic is the name of the new langauge.

Perhaps the developer really abandon SmallBasic Open edition.

It is also available on GPT store.

I will try to make it more good with more resources by making a TXT knowledge base of all litdev extension samples to make it much more better in LD extension.

And I will be happy if anyone here got time to fetch some samples from old forum small basic website etc and post them here to improve our small basic AI.
You can also post here your made programs and codes for extension usage of different extensions it will be big help.
Also I got email of another BASIC JAM ON itch.io last time was fun and this time I will be using this AI to make a good game.]]> Hope you will try it and I think it will make good code with using extension also.

I sincerely congratulate you on the upcoming New Year!

The year 2025 showed humanity that even the advent of AI has not diminished the value of Small Basic in the world of virtual entertainment, just as the advent of humanoid robots has not changed the value of LEGO construction sets in the physical world.

Even with the fantastically high development of technology, creative people will always be interested in creating something WITH THEIR OWN HANDS, using LEGO, Arduino, a 3D pen or our Small Basic.

I wish all such people the greatest creative success in the coming New Year.

Hooray!!! Tongue

Currently, there is a sketch and a working prototype:
1. Debug console (working!)
2. Run Code setting (working!)
3. IntelliSense (also working!)
4. Trigonometry (to be added)
5. More shapes (tba too)
6. Smarter IntelliSense (worked!)
7. Materials (will be added!!)
8. Procedural mesh generation (tba!)
9. Mesh importing (to be added!)
10. Image importing (to be added)
11. Language localization (wip)
12. API wrappers (wip)
13. Project hierarchy (to be added)

It's shaping to be a ceremony to Small Basic's testament of educating beginners and children alike, and will likely have impact

Hot reload setting worked.
Also gonna add UI manipulation and JS wrappers for Small Basic.

Also new additions:
Camera controls settings
WebGL renderer refreshing
Prototype inheritance
Arrays
If...EndIf, For...EndFor

More:
Trigonometry
Materials
Physics-based rendering
Meshes
Editor properly highlights comments
Backface culling toggle ('false' by default)

GraphicsWindow object is now 3DEnviroment, JS modals (alert, input, confirm) wrappers added

Also it is based on Babylon.js anyway (just saying)]]> I've been making a 3D Small Basic project in JavaScript, it's working great, and it's expanding!

It is called Splash Animator 3.14 anyway.
Features:
File format .web-animx ('x' stands for XML)
Export options: HTML (well-tested), .web-animx (not buggy)
Programming language: CSS (to animate things you dropped on the Scene)
Version: 3.14 (major update with bug fixes)

I might improve it a lot to behave like Flash for our current web, but free and open, and so Small Basic could be it's programming language.
Mind if I can send the GitHub link?

We might end up making Small Basic famous (if the Flash community's criteria fits how Splash is designed).
The project evolved swiftly, and version 4.0 will add Small Basic (but the project would become Splash X, separately from the Splash Animator)

By programming language I mean Small Basic would be used to program Splash apps.]]> If I'm allowed to, I can send the GitHub link.

You can see here about what it made : https://g.co/gemini/share/7f0fb52cd0da

Currently Gemini's Gem cant be shared so that others can use but you can create your own Small Basic Coder.
If you want to make your own first open your Gemini it is available with a google account in the left panel go to Explore Gems and there click on New Gem In it name it the put this in instructions:

Code:
You are a coder who solve any problems or give code in Microsoft Small basic Programing Language by using you knowledge.

If Code is too long to send in one message you give it to the user in segments.

I Have added a small basic tutorial pdf to your knowledge learn from it how to do coding in small basic.

and i have added smallbasiclibray which is standard library of small basic api and xml file to learn from it.

and i have added all small basic extension Api pdf and also their XML in txt format learn from them how to use extension.

in the XML files P: means property M: means method and T: means object and E: means event which can be added to sub.

Note Always Use: Extension Where Possible if something is not in standard Small Basic Library.

All Variables are Global.

In small basic there are no like sub functions cant have arguments and return but you can use variables or LDCall or ZSCall.

You Cant use like this in small basic code:

Sub Write(arg)

TextWindow.Write(arg)

EndSub

Sub Write("Hii")

But you can do this in code :

arg_write = ""

Sub Write()

TextWindow.Write(arg_write)

EndSub

arg_write = "Hii"

Write()

All Extensions Object are also global you don't have to use ZS.ZSText or Litdev.LDCall use directly ZSText and LDCall.

Don't make method or Object with your own mind before using first see if the object have that method or property or event using the API and Xml give to you in knowledge.
