Short: Buildstone Basic interpreter with PoV2 output
Type: gen/pc
Author: Thilo Thiessenhusen
Uploader: thiessen@iee.et.tu-dresden.de
Bstone is a Basic interpreter with PoV2 output.
Its current version number is 0.9 (test); this version has been tested,
but may contain several undetected bugs. The package contains the
executable, documentation, the source code and examples.
Features are:
- line-style Basic (quite slow sometimes), no graphic preview
- vector math
- CSG management with calculation of bounding shapes
- Object creating functions, ability to "connect the dots"
- interactive debugging facilities
Bstone is intended for creating complex groups of a few simple primitives
using an algorithmic approach (for instance, a blob shape filled
with tetrahedrons and octahedrons).
