About this app
TabletBasic is a retro BASIC learning environment. Inspired by Microsoft QuickBASIC, TabletBasic brings back the fast, friendly learning loop that made classic BASIC such a great way to start programming: type a few lines, run them immediately, see what happens, and try again. Designed for learning: - Write and run BASIC programs in a focused retro IDE. - Try quick commands in immediate mode. - Explore 81 built-in sample programs across 8 categories. - Follow beginner-friendly lessons. - Learn variables, loops, conditions, subroutines, arrays, data, random numbers, and expressions. - Draw simple graphics with SCREEN, LINE, CIRCLE, PSET, and COLOR. TabletBasic includes a native Swift interpreter and a clean interface inspired by classic DOS programming tools. It is not an emulator. It is a modern educational environment for experimenting with a practical, readable programming language. TabletBasic is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft.
