TinyBasic (Java)

Overview

Here is the Java version of my TinyBasic port. See the main page for full details.

My Impressions

I did this using Eclipse, a free, fantastic Java IDE. (Netbeans is also fantastic and I develop my Java web applications using Netbeans.) I love the Java platform. It's not as ubiquitous as Flash and the initial download and startup times are definitely heftier, but once it shows up, it really delivers :). I'm not afraid of building my own GUIs by hand, either. (Although I don't eschew GUI builders, this article pretty much sums up how I feel about them. I don't go out of my way to avoid them, though - I use the Visual Studio Forms Designer, for example.)

TinyBasic/J

You need Sun's Java Runtime Environment to run this.

See the Sample Programs page for sample programs you can copy and paste into the window below.

Press [Esc], then [Enter] to break out of a running program.

This is the real, running program, not a screenshot!
