PlayBasic is a powerful game creation language for windows. It was designed to make 2D game programming easier for beginners, game designers, right through to experienced game programmers. It achieves this via including as many inbuilt features as possible, letting you work on constructing your game, rather than learning the many techniques behind it. It's this approach that makes PlayBasic the best gateway to learning programming and game design on the PC. Moreover, it's similar to various basic dialects from Dark Basic right through to older languages like AMOS (Amiga) and STOS (Atari ST) Even though PlayBasic aims at compatibility first over exploiting the latest DirectX hardware. You can still create stunning real time effects like Alpha Blending & Rotation just to name a few. The benefit is that your computer doesn't require the latest 3D video hardware to use PlayBasic. Nor do the games you create with it. Ensuring they'll work on as many systems as possible. Allowing you to easily share your programs with the world. The PlayBasic package comes with a comprehensive code editor, with integrated (searchable help), built in debugger and 100's of examples to get you started. If that's not enough, we are always open to hearing your feedback on our Free PlayBasic support forums. We want PB to be as powerful, flexible and of course FUN as possible. So now it's up to you, just download PlayBasic and start creating your game ideas today !
