TabletBasic

Write tiny BASIC programs, run them instantly, and learn with retro menus, built-in lessons, sample code, and simple graphics.

TabletBasic is a retro BASIC learning environment.

Inspired by Microsoft QuickBASIC, TabletBasic brings back the fast, friendly learning loop that made classic BASIC such a great way to start programming: type a few lines, run them immediately, see what happens, and try again.

Designed for learning:

• Write and run BASIC programs in a focused retro IDE.
• Try quick commands in immediate mode.
• Explore 80 built-in sample programs across 8 categories.
• Follow beginner-friendly lessons.
• Learn variables, loops, conditions, subroutines, arrays, data, random numbers, and expressions.
• Draw simple graphics with SCREEN, LINE, CIRCLE, PSET, and COLOR.

TabletBasic includes a native Swift interpreter and a clean interface inspired by classic DOS programming tools. It is not an emulator. It is a modern educational environment for experimenting with a practical, readable programming language.
