## Description

The Simples language is similar in simplicity and ease-of-use to Visual Basic, but with event handling and other advanced features. Due to its flexibility though, it can be written more in the style of Python, C/C++ or Java if desired.<br><br>Full documentation and demonstration programs are included. The language will be expanded and enhanced in line with user feedback.<br><br>You will soon wonder why all other languages to create apps are so difficult and complicated to use. You can just concentrate on the logic of your app.<br><br>For the phone screenshots: the first picture is the 3D &#39;maze&#39; game,  the second is the &#39;invaders&#39; game, the third is the &#39;Pablo&#39;, the fourth is the ancient board game &#39;reversi&#39;, the fifth is the &#39;inclinometer&#39; app&#39; which shows the bearing, roll and pitch of your phone, the sixth is the code for the compass.
