I am making this app because my father, who was a programmer in the 80s, asked me to find him an Android app to showcase programming to others using BASIC.

I couldn't find anything that I felt comfortable recommending to him, so I pulled an all-nighter and made this.

Here's where the app is as of v1.1(66):

• Language
  • All variable types supported (strings/integers/floats/doubles/arrays/records)
  • All execution control syntaxes work (FOR/WHILE/IF)
  • Basic I/O works (PRINT/INPUT/INKEY$)
• Editor
  • Basic syntax highlighting
  • Undo / Redo
  • very limited open / save (it can't save-in-place the file you're editing (editor should save-in-place the file I am editing #56))
  • Search & Replace in the editor
• App
  • 4 bundled examples (HELLO WORLD, FIBONACCI, PRIMES, INKEY)
  • Simple about screen
• Known issues
  • Older Android APIs do not display a keyboard in the Terminal View

Current Install Base: 2
