Description [menu]
RFO BASIC! is a dialect of Dartmouth Basic that allows you to write and run programs directly on your Android device.
There is a 200+ page manual available in pdf/docx format or online at http://mougino.free.fr/rfo-basic/manual/
Join the 2,500+ users of BASIC! in the official forum at:
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/rfobasic/
In addition to the traditional Basic features, you have access to:
Graphical User Interface with the GW lib,
Graphics (with Multi-touch),
Build User Interfaces with HTML and JavaScript,
SQL,
GPS,
Device Sensors,
Music Play,
Text to Speech,
Voice Recognition,
Sound Pools,
Audio Recording,
Tone Generation,
Camera,
Data Structures such as:Array/List/Stack/Bundle
Internet Browsing,
Text and Byte file I/O,
Encryption,
User defined functions,
FTP Client,
TCP/IP Client and Server Sockets,
Bluetooth,
Send Emails,
Make a phone call,
Superuser access (on rooted devices)
BASIC! programs may be compiled into stand-alone applications that can be offered on the Android Market. This can be done with the BASIC Compiler available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rfo.compiler
Another process is to generate a home screen shortcut but it requires BASIC! installed to run and the app cannot be shared.
All of the features of BASIC! are documented in the manual, De Re BASIC! accessible at http://mougino.free.fr/rfo-basic/manual/
The install package includes over three dozen BASIC! source code files that explain and demonstrate the implementation details of this dialect.
BASIC! is being continuously improved. Many of the improvements have come from user requests. Also, since BASIC! is open source, others have begun on the code. Join the BASIC! forum and become part of the development team.
Permissions: This application asks for many permissions. None of the permissions are exercised by BASIC! on its own. They are only exercised if you, the BASIC! programmer, writes a program that exercises them. For example, BASIC! will never make a phone call unless you use the PHONE.CALL command in a program that you write.
