About

Small Basic is the only programming language created especially to help students transition from block-based coding to text-based coding. By teaching the fundamental elements of syntax-based languages in an approachable manner, Small Basic gives students the skills and confidence to tackle more complex programming languages such as Java and C#. You can also build applications for Kinect, Lego Mindstorm, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Oculus Rift, and more using 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 a few lines of code, you will be well on your way to creating your very own game! Share your programs with your friends and let them import your published programs and run them on their computers. Using the Silverlight player, you can even post your games on your own blogs and websites and play them in the browser.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - easy to learn programming logic concepts - drop an drag wysiwyg type build box - drop and drag logic for coding - cross platform publishing - easy to adapt physics

Cons

  • - huge drain on ram - can’t look at multiple actor logic - very restrictive in what you can build - no built in universal hud layering/device adjustment - doesn’t seem to have capacity to adjust to speeds of different devices so the game play experience across platforms is varied - regularly has glitches when apple or google make changes so it regularly need to catch up so it can actually be used - no 3d capacity. you can do pseudo 3d but at great expense to ram and functionality - fonts don’t scale relative to camera size (eg when using a zoom feature in a game) - the subscription price, especially when you factor in regular glitches with the creator and publishing - very basic layering - no parent/child ability on actors - no decent trial period to try the platform
