BASIC Expansions and variants: Apple II

Posted on by

Here’s a list of some of the BASIC expansions, compilers and interpreters available for Apple II computers.

 

Expansions:

  • Beagle BASIC: +8 New commands (Link)

Compilers and Interpreters:

  • Apex (128K): Compiled language, and hybrid between APL & BASIC (Link, Link)
  • ZBASIC: Compiled BASIC language, includes IDE. (Link)
  • The Beagle Compiler: BASIC to P-code  compiler(Link)
  • Einstein Compiler: BASIC compiler (Link)

Note: For those expansions, interpreters or compilers that allow to include inline assembly on the BASIC program,  such feature should not be used as it collides with the competition’s rules.
