KidBASIC is an easy to use version of BASIC designed to teach young children the basics of computer programming. It has a built-in graphics mode which lets them draw pictures on screen in minutes, and a set of detailed, easy-to-follow tutorials that introduce programming concepts through fun exercises.
Version 0.3.1 adds two functions to speed up graphics performance and eliminate flicker. Also, the compiled byte code now runs in its own thread, increasing performance and responsiveness significantly.
