BASIC-256

BASIC-256 is a simple BASIC IDE that allows young children to learn to program.

It was written in response to David Brin's article, "Why Johnny Can't Code,"

in which he bemoans the lack of a simple, line-oriented programming language

for children that runs on modern computers. It features a byte-code compiler

and interpreter, a debugger, easy to use graphical and text output, and an

editor.
