SuperBASIC is inspired by BBC BASIC but offers quite a bit more.
- SuperBASIC Reference Manual.
- SuperBASIC Memory Map
- Watch EMWhite's excellent intro series on YouTube: Full Playlist.
An informal list of tips, "gotchas":
Ernestos' tips on if, then, else:
- A regular
if thencondition can't contain anelsestatement, as in this example:
10 if a=0 then x=10
- If you need to do an
if then elsestructure, you actually have to do anif else endifstructure like in the following example, skipping thethenstatement.
10 if a=0
20 x=1
30 else
40 x=2
50 endif
- If you do it in one line it needs to have some colons added, making it look weird like this:
10 if a=0:x=1:else:x=2:endif
- if you dare to omit the
endifthinking that theifstatement won't need it, (mmm.., everything is in one line, so no need, right?) -Nope...all hell breaks loose!-
10 if a=0:x=1:else:x=2: REM "<-- Error, omited the endif"
- be careful not to add an extra
thenstatement by mistake to anif else endifstructure, if you do -All hell breaks loose again!!-
10 if a=0 then : rem "<-- Error, THEN is not needed!!!"
20 x=1
30 else
40 x=2 50 endif
