Lesson plan
SdlBasic
SdlBasic is a multiplatform interpreter for BASIC, using the SDL libraries. Its interpreter core is based on wxBasic. The interpreter can be very useful for people who are familiar with ANSI-BASIC interpreters and are curious or needing SDL library features on their coding development. Using the IDE it is possible to create an executable. This implementation helped inspire the RCBasic development environment released under the zlib license, with an attempt also made at producing an AllegroBASIC for the similar Allegro library. Gambas also provides a built-in SDL component allowing use of BASIC with the library.
