About Roblox Basic :
this is a great software overall but as a fantasy console it’s lacking some features like actually limiting the memory and having it’s own operating system or something like that, another neat feature that this should have is different graphical modes like a terminal mode or a high-res(with a lower capacity of sprites and colours) and low-res(faster and more colours), this looks more like an actual game developing software with a few limitations rather than a fantasy console. the price is a little too high, i think that more people would want to buy this if it was priced at ~8$, but i do recommend to buy it when it goes to sale – This is an OO and feature rich programming language with pretty much everything you need to make many applications and games – With disks created by the Dev you can export applications as disks(Basic8s executable), Desktop OS executables and HTML web players – Comes with simple tools for making images, sounds and more – Can be extended with custom plugins – The dev is awesome, provides great support and most of the workshop content! The idea of a fantasy computer as well as the fantasy consoles is pretty cool and a good start point for video game creation enthusiast, so in order to spend a couple hours on Basic8 you definitely need to get inspired or guided somehow since it’s far from being n00b friendly. I thought “well, I should read the manual first before complaining” but even after reading the available documentation there’s no easy way to understand how and how far you can go with Basic8. By the way the success of these innovative tools relies on having a solid, friendly/non-programmer documentation 😉
