What's New in GG Basic

2.0.3

June 9, 2020

- Fixed bug occured on closing the filelist

User reviews

Ads, barely functional

Paid app with ads. App barely works on my new iPhone

Initial Impression

I looked at some of the examples. It’s ok; however, the most glaring problem with the language is that it seems like it would be pretty difficult to maintain what you’ve written. The goto/gosub instruction references entry points by editor assigned line numbers. If you insert any new lines to your code it becomes necessary to manually update every goto/gosub line number in the code below.

This could be fixed if the author changed the interpreter to use entry point labels at program preference points. Example:

Label_Name:
Some code to run
Return

Then jump to the subroutine with
Gosub(Label_Name)

It’s a bit slow but ok, other than that.
