Description

MCX BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language. MCX BASIC is designed to follow GW-BASIC, which is one of the standard BASICs running on 16-bit computers. During the creation of MCX BASIC, a major effort was made to make the system as flexible and expandable as possible.

MCX BASIC development environment is very similar to that of the Dartmouth Time Sharing System associated with Dartmouth BASIC. It has a command line-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) system; all program lines must be numbered, all non-numbered lines are considered to be commands in direct mode (i.e., to be executed immediately). The user interface is almost completely command line.

The original BASIC language was designed on May 1, 1964 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth College students under their direction. The acronym BASIC comes from the name of an unpublished paper by Thomas Kurtz. BASIC was designed to allow students to write mainframe computer programs for the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System. It was intended specifically for less technical users who did not have or want the mathematical background previously expected. Being able to use a computer to support teaching and research was quite novel at the time.

The language was based on FORTRAN II, with some influences from ALGOL 60 and with additions to make it suitable for timesharing. Initially, BASIC concentrated on supporting straightforward mathematical work, with matrix arithmetic support from its initial implementation as a batch language, and character string functionality being added by 1965.

The designers of the language decided to make the compiler available free of charge so that the language would become widespread. (In the 1960s, software became a chargeable commodity; until then, it was provided without charge as a service with the very expensive computers, usually available only to lease.) They also made it available to high schools in the Hanover area, and put a considerable amount of effort into promoting the language. In the following years, as other dialects of BASIC appeared, Kemeny and Kurtz's original BASIC dialect became known as Dartmouth BASIC.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★This has not been made for making full on programs, theres no exporting to exe, and theres no graphics support, this is for the OG BASIC command line lovers. I would say you can make some very usefull calculator programs with it, but when it comes to games, it can only be text based, so i think this program is especially good for messing around with it, ESPECIALLY because the save and loading system currently has a problem wich makes it unfunctional. I reccomend this if you want nostalgia :)
4 ★It's a pretty good version of BASIC. It is better than some of the ones included on some early microcomputers of the 80s (except for Microsoft Extended 'MSX' BASIC)
5 ★Had a small issue with saving files - due to error in help file - share instead of save. However Aleksey was very fast to respond to email - good service. About the App - wonderful to get back to the 'old way' with line numbers - back to writing own functional programs after many years gone buy - good work getting this onto android!
2 ★I'm unable to save a file. I'm using Android Oreo. I type a small program. I type [save "test"] and it says OK. I type [load] and the dialog opens, and it is empty. I'm unable to browse the file system either. I can go back to the root, but not back from where it started even. It starts at [/storage/emulated/0/bas]
5 ★Have not programmed for years used to loads in basic . Never done c+ etc now able to program again after decades just like the original basic!!!!
