William Pinson

This program is poorly constructed. It is slow, doesn’t include key components of a proper BASIC, and doesn’t even maintain the integrity of its variables.

Not a proper compiler

This is not compiler. It will execute lines of basic. But needs all inputs established in advance. So if you wrote a program that gave prompt “this is a+b calculator” “please enter a” “now enter b” “your answer to a+b is c”

The only thing you’ll see is “ your answer to a+b is c” and won’t display any of the input prompts because it expects all inputs to be predefined in the correct order. Making it impossible to create any fully actualized programs.

Response from developer

Sorry for your inconvenience. This is a remote batch compiler. Therefore, all input has to be predefined.

Potentially could be good ... but ....

This implementation of Basic is very good for 'noddy' programs, But don't try any serious programming with it, it is totally ruined by the 20 second run time limit .... which is a great pity.
I have tried several iPad Pro 'apps' for writing Basic Programs, and this certainly has the best 'source' editor. I can't understand why the developers would deliberately limit its execution time. Great shame ... I'll have to keep looking for something suitable ... maybe look at VNC to my main PC running a full features Basic.

Response from developer

Hello, the limit on execution time is because the codes are run on a shared remote server. The limit ensures that every user gets a reasonable computing time.
