A bit about Small Basic
Small Basic combines a friendly environment with a very simple language and a rich and engaging set of libraries to make your programs and games pop. In a matter of few lines of code, you will be well on your way to creating your very own game! With a new and revolutionary IntelliSense®, Small Basic makes writing code a breeze. Learn the programming concepts starting with the fundamentals and move your way up.
