BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
The primary purpose of this project is to reproduce the overall experience provided by the original GW-BASIC (Microsoft Corporation circa 1983-1988); preserving this important chapter in computing history and making it available for future generations to enjoy.
Features:
* Faithful recreation of the original GW-BASIC 'IDE' (REPL).
* Full support for graphics keywords such as PSET, LINE, CIRCLE, PAINT, GET, PUT and DRAW
* Full support for CGA and EGA graphics modes including original fonts.
* Full support for all File I/O keywords.
* Uses isolated (local) storage to create a virtualized C: file system.
* File 'browser' for file management (LOAD, CHDIR, RMDIR, KILL, etc.).
* Completely functional regardless of network connection.
* Supports Portrait and Landscape.
* Much, much, more...
Still to come...
* Continue to improve interactive experience through the touch-centric Phone UI.
* PLAY commands.
* Easily share code with fellow coders; so get started now if you'd like to have your code featured!
This ***IS*** the GW-BASIC you remember... on the phone! Don't accept anything less.
TRIAL MODE
All commands/keywords/functions are available except the following:
* OPEN, CLOSE, INPUT#, LINE INPUT#, WRITE#, LOC, EOF, LOF, LOCK, UNLOCK, FIELD, GET (File), PUT (File)
* SAVE, MERGE, KILL, MKDIR, RMDIR
* CHAIN, COMMON
Use of these methods in trial mode will cause an Advanced Feature error (73) that can be trapped using ON ERROR.
VERSION HISTORY
V0.01
- Initial release
V0.02
- Custom keyboard (SIP).
- Added support for PEN, FRE, BEEP and SOUND.

DESCRIPTION BY WIKIPEDIA
GW-BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language developed by Microsoft from BASICA, originally for Compaq. It does not need the ROM BASIC. The language is suitable for simple games, business programs and the like. it is also a low-cost way for many aspiring programmers to learn the fundamentals of computer programming.
GW-BASIC has a command line-based integrated development environment (IDE) based on Dartmouth BASIC. Using the cursor movement keys, any line displayed on screen can be edited. It also includes function key shortcuts at the bottom of the screen. Like other early microcomputer versions of BASIC, GW-BASIC lacked many of the structures needed for structured programming such as local variables, and GW-BASIC programs executed relatively slowly, because it was an interpreted programming language. All program lines must be numbered; all non-numbered lines are considered to be commands in direct mode to be executed immediately. Program source files are normally saved in binary compressed format with tokens replacing commands, with an option to save in ASCII text form.
The GW-BASIC command-line environment has commands to RUN, LOAD, SAVE, LIST the current program, these commands can also be used as program statements. There is little support for structured programming in GW-BASIC. All IF/THEN/ELSE conditional statements must be written on one line, although WHILE/WEND statements may group multiple lines. Functions can only be defined using the single line DEF FNf(x)= statement (e.g., DEF FNLOG(base,number)=LOG(number)/LOG(base)). The data type of variables can be specified with a character at the end of the variable name: A$ is a string of characters, A% is an integer, etc. Groups of variables can also be set to default types based on the initial letter of their name by use of the DEFINT, DEFSTR, etc., statements. The default type for undeclared variables not identified by such typing statements, is single-precision floating point (32-bit MBF).>
