BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. This app uses the free/open source (GPL) FreeBASIC compiler (https://www.freebasic.net) as backend. FreeBASIC is a high-level programming language supporting procedural, object-orientated and meta-programming paradigms, with a syntax compatible to Microsoft QuickBASIC.
Features: - Compile and run your program - View program output or detailed error - Select and run chunk of codes - Custom keyboard for easy input of frequently used characters - Optimized for connecting with external physical/bluetooth keyboard - Advanced source code editor with syntax highlighting and line numbers - Open, save, import and share bas files. - Language reference
Limitations: - Internet connection is required for compilation - Only one file can be run at a time - Maximum program running time is 20s - Some file system, network and graphics functions may be limited - This is a batch compiler; interactive programs are not supported. If your program provides an input prompt, enter the input in the Input tab prior to compilation. See the Reference tab in the app for code examples

QBasic is a wonderful platform which helped me to learn programming from basic.
This app looks like it should be amazing, but when I load small programs and run them, it reports that it doesn't have enough resources. That is not enough information for me. There is nothing in the Play store write-up that says what the limitations are and there's nothing in the diagnostics that tell me what the limitations are. Please provide more information on the limitations or restrictions. Please provide a link where I can send you programs for you to analyze.
I cant get this app to work and with 20 second work time not sure of its value. I think im missing something so i hope i figure it out and can give 5 star
