<h1id="smallbasic">SmallBASIC</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>SmallBASIC is a fast and easy to learn BASIC language interpreter
ideal for everyday calculations, scripts and prototypes. SmallBASIC
includes trigonometric, matrices and algebra functions, a built in IDE,
a powerful string library, system, sound, graphic commands and
communication via serial or sockets along with structured programming
syntax.</p>

<h2id="programming-made-easy-for-all">Programming Made Easy for
All</h2>
<p>SmallBASIC is available for various operating systems, including
Windows, Linux, and Android. You can even build it from source to run on
many other POSIX-compliant systems, such as Raspberry Pi OS for the
Raspberry Pi. With its built-in Integrated Development Environment
(IDE), you can write programs on your Android-powered tablet or mobile
phone and run them instantly.</p>

<p><ahref="pages/screenshots.html"
class="LinkIndexPage">Screenshots</a></p>
<p>SmallBASIC makes it easy to bundle your program with all the
necessary libraries, creating executable files for Windows (exe-files)
or Linux (AppImage). For Android, you can create a signed package (pkg)
and distribute it through platforms like Google Play. Learn more about
distributing your program on our (<a
href="/pages/distributiontool.html">Distribution</a>) page.</p>
<p>If you prefer an online experience, you can start programming with
the web-based version of SmallBASIC in your browser right now. Just
click on <ahref="/online/sbasic.html">Start online</a> to begin
coding.</p>
<h2id="editors-ide-and-smallbasic-versions">Editors, IDE and SmallBASIC
versions</h2>
<p>SmallBASIC comes in three different flavors for the desktop. The SDL
version offers a simple but efficient IDE and is perfect for working
with graphics. The FLTK version has a great IDE. The console version
doesn’t offer an IDE and is text-only but works perfect with plugins
like raylib or nuklear (<a
href="/pages/download.html">Downloads</a>).</p>
<p><imgsrc="../images/sb_versions.png"
style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em;" /></p>
<p>No matter which SmallBASIC version you prefer, external editors like
Visual Studio Code, Geany, Sublime Text or KDE Kate can be setup for
syntax highlighting or code execution (<a
href="/pages/language_support.html">Setup external editors</a>).</p>
<p>Instructions on how to use the editor in the SDL and Android version
can be found in the article <a
href="/pages/android.html">Android</a></p>
<h2id="units">Units</h2>
<p>Units are sets of functions, procedures and constants bundled in a
BASIC-library and can be imported in your program. Units use their own
namespace and therefore are separated from your program.</p>

<h2id="plugins">Plugins</h2>
<p>Plugins are libraries written in C which extent the functionality of
SmallBASIC. SmallBASIC offers an API to write your own plugins. The
following plugins are part of the release version of SmallBASIC: raylib
(2D and 3D game development), nuklear (GUI programming), clipboard,
gifencoder and WebSockets. You can also import a plugin for the
Raspberry Pi to use the GPIO ports and some additional hardware like
displays or temperature sensors.</p>
